Hi All:
The ultimate in laziness........ Managed to get myself un-hammocked
long enough to post this. Am making good use of recent combo
birthday/anniversary present from husband. From the hammock: fall
migration evident with increase in ROBINS and TREE SWALLOWS swarming
overhead. A late fledgling SONG-SPARROW begging( amusing to hear the
young trying out their voice), HUMMINGBIRD buzzing in to take nectar
from the Lobelia Cardinalis. CAROLINA WRENS scolding in the background,
resident CATBIRDS skulking in and out of the dense Riverbirch foliage,
the high pitched calls of CEDAR WAXWINGS feeding from the wild
cherries,GOLDFINCHES making a chattering appearance and a male CARDINAL
swooping in at dusk to the overhead branches of the maple tree, looking
for one last seed.
Have enjoyed reading all the shorebird posts. `spose I ought to get out
there myself!!
