Maybe I over-indulged a bit on Gage Gardens. Today when Dale and I got there bright and early, all hyped to see great birds, it was quite dead. Not only that, but workers were all over the place with loud leaf-blowers on the walkways. There was no escaping the deafening noise. When they quit in an hour or so, three trains blasted past at short intervals. Meanwhile, the workers were spraying herbicide on all the beds, purportedly to kill weeds.
The storm that came up from the south yesterday, bringing some showers to the region, may have caused the migrants to hasten north. Oh, well, my body needs a rest from this migration frenzy. Fun while it lasted, though!
