While we are in transition with birds moving in and out, several hilights made Sunday interesting.
On Prospect Lake, a drake Red breasted merganser joined the 7 Common Mergansers still here .Yesterday's Wilson Snipe though went missing ( cause it was in a hurry) despite a prolonged search.
Over Greenwood Cemetery, 3 Bald Eagles were on the move. Meanwhile on the ground , 5 Hooded Mergansers remained on Crescent Water with few Buffleheads on Sylvan Water Otherwise other water stuff left.
In Red Hook, an Iceland Gull occupied a jetty off the Waterfront Museum.
And as it goes for the umpteenth time ,the Trumpeter Swan is long residing at Williamsburgh North 5th Street Pier near the ferry dock.
"Lines Written in Early Spring" Summary
I heard a thousand interwoven notes of birdsong while I lay in a grove, where I was enjoying the kind of mood in which happy thoughts remind you of sad ones.
Nature connected my soul to all the beautiful creatures around me—and I felt terribly sad to think about what humanity has done to itself.
poet William Wordsworth
