You know, I believe if you show up for something you usually get rewarded for it, this morning was definitely one such case. Shelby is not feeling well and stayed home from school. The temptation was to climb back into bed and go back to sleep. What I did instead was head out to the Celery Farm. Great choice. This morning in one of those beautiful fall mornings where it is cool but not cold. The air is so clear and fall colors are starting to come into the trees. I was so happy being out there on the path enjoying the day. Then at the first point I met up with some of those guys that know what they are doing out there, making the calls and identifying the birds they see. Me I just put my binoculars up to my eyes and pretend I have the slightest clue about what they are talking about. I have actually learned a bit but am still pretty much brain dead compared to the rest of them. Anyway, the trees were filled with warblers of many kinds. I can now say I know what a yellow rumped warbler looks like. The others will be a crap shoot if I can identify them ever again. But I can call out some names to try and impress you on a trail one day. An Osprey came a caught a fish close to where we were standing and then later a blue heron caught and ate 3 fish that I saw...there may have been more. Now for those of you who have no idea...this is not normal. At least that is what the experts told me LOL (once again I pretended that I had a clue and said, "yes, yes.") I am just so grateful for this amazing place that is so close to my home.
