I am back to my normal schedule at the shop and took an hour Sunday morning to see what has happened at Fish Park over the last month or so. We have had a lot of wild weather and I was curious to see if the park was affected. It was obvious that there was an issue with runoff in a few places and the creeks had cut deeper channels. Still, the park itself held up fairly well.
There was not a whole lot of bird activity during my walk. Although, I could hear more birds back in the trees. The highlight was provided by several very vocal Song Sparrows (SOSP). There was a moment when the sun broke through the clouds, the wind died down, and the sparrow's singing made it feel an awful lot like spring. Unfortunately, walking around a stand of trees and getting hit by a cold wind immediately brought me back to a chilly January morning.
