From 9:30am - 11:00am I birded Cylburn Arboretum.  I love spring birding in
this kind of weather and the birds did not disappoint.  At one point had to
bushwack through some real tangles - thorned - when the interior woods path
abruptly ended, only to be confronted with a sea of nettles as the final
barrier near where the stump dump starts.  I was wearing shorts.  Not smart
or pretty.
