'Quiet Place’ in NDG, May 26
I had plans to read a book in the park, but then I realized there would be people there. I thought “Hmm…people…or creatures?” Creatures won, of course, and I did a lazy circuit of my secret gardens, in the smiling afternoon sun.
Given the time of day, I wasn’t expecting much, but I ended up encountering three ‘first of year’ birds for the patch: Swainson’s Thrush, Eastern Wood-Pewee (2-3 individuals, none singing), and a silent Black-throated Green Warbler filtering through the high canopy. Ended with 19 species in 90 minutes. I like creatures.
