Today was so comfortable, almost cold, that even after a morning run, I still needed to be outside. My afternoon walk took me to Green-Wood Cemetery where I watched comical parrots, brazen mockingbirds, and fidgety frogs. Summer is a bit of a lull until migrations pick up again, but I was still happy with what I saw and satisfied that this is my backyard.
 |
| Greeted while locking up my bike by a flock of foraging quaker parrots. This one looks like it may have eaten a baby parrot, but it was just munching on pinecones, and whatever is growing on nearby trees. |
 |
| Young frogs were ALL OVER and actually sitting on lily pads! I think these are bullfrogs. |
 |
| Young eastern kingbirds. |
 |
| Spotted a few yellow warblers. |
 |
| A scruffy looking mockingbird. |
 |
| A question mark-- really that is what it's called. |
 |
| Things that lurk in my nightmares, paper wasps, but that nest looks like a watercolor painting. |
 |
| Was really hoping this was a screech owl, darn you, squirrel! |
 |
| Large bullfrog! |
 |
| Quakers wishing me a farewell on my way out. |
