Things you see at the Brick Pond
On a walk with my daughters yesterday, we heard a lot of chatter in the treetops, and tiny birds flitted all over the place. But it was difficult to find them quickly enough for a photo. No wonder — considering how well they blend in with the leaves. Can you spot the warbler in this picture?
But they started to get used to our being there, and came a little closer.
Finally, they came in still closer. They were too busy looking for insects to worry about us for long, and soon they surrounded us — a cloud of what we later decided were magnolia warblers, reveling in the warm weather and the swarms of tiny insects around the pond.
An hour zipped by before we even got halfway, but we drank in the late afternoon warmth and color of a beautiful fall day.
