From Orrin
Greenwood Cemetery
Green-Wood Cemetery this morning at the Valley Water,
Sylvan Water, and the high ground around them. Highlights
were a raccoon in a copper beach tree high above the Sylvan
Water and a a remote-controlled stump grinder like a large
version of a toy racing car but much bigger and slower. As
for avian species, I saw a green heron, a great egret,
two black-crowned night herons, a Baltimore oriole,
several chimney swifts, a couple of barn swallows,
a northern rough-winged swallow, plenty of cedar
waxwings, a downy woodpecker, and many chipping
sparrows, in addition to the usual suspects.
