So many sounds, smells, and sights late in the day in the Nine Mile Run Watershed area of Frick Park...
The most delightful to me - the spring peepers' chorus in the wetlands area. It was such a surprise! It reminded me of spring nights in the south. I couldn't see them, but man could I hear them! I don't know if this will work, but see if you can hear them peep.... This is the sound of the males enticing the females. Magic.
And the birds were out and about - saw a few and heard many more - listen to the robins, cardinals, sparrows - open all three and you will hear them singing together.
Not much green yet, as you can see in the photos below, but I can see it and smell it coming. Look for similar shots coming up next week - we will see what has changed!
I am very grateful to all of the laborers and planners, paid and volunteer, who work to restore the Nine Mile Run to a healthy environment for all the critters, including us.
