Into new territory
A rather wonderful upper 60s walk in Ben Brenman park and then under Duke Street and up Holmes Run.
The Grebe and merganser were out in the open water near the overflow when we arrived and when we returned from our walk.
There was a lot more bee activity today in the warm morning sun with numerous insects flying and more feeding actively. There were still a couple in a sedentary state however.
Over Cardinal Bridge, we turned left and headed upstream. Just after the small playground there is a shaded stream crossed by another bridge (instantly named Troll Bridge :) ) that looks as if it could be marvellous for migrant warblers in spring.
We walked up the the very significant bridge across to N.Pickett Street. From the bridge a Coopers hawk flew down stream. The path was quite busy by mid-morning so there were few birds. I pished a yellow-rump down close and a small pool beside the river flow had a mix a bathing Robins, Cardinal and a Chipping Sparrow. These pools could also be interesting in the spring.
