Soggy Days

Yesterday was extraordinary, spending time with such congenial people in such congenial places (S&S deli, Gardner museum, Middle East restaurant). I will write more about this when I get back to Davis.

Today I went with my friend Linda to Plum Island by way of Newburyport (blue grosbeak, Nashville warbler), Ipswich (blue heron, which we didn’t see), Rowley (wilson’s phalarope, ditto), and lots of wind and rain.

I’ll be heading out tomorrow to California. I have a lot of sketches to complete on the plane. More then.

  1. Plum Island… damn I envy you. That is one of my favorite places in the area (another island I love is Isle Au Haut in Maine). When I went to Plum Island the second time I had the great luck of seeing a Snowy Owl that had been wintering there.

    Have you ever had the chance to visit Rock Meadow in Watertown (Newton?). Great place for goldfinches and mourning cloak butterflies.
