Sometimes on nice fall days out here in NW Lansing it is blessedly QUIET! Today has been like that - first by the lake and then along ‘my’ stream in the woods.
No cars, no planes, no noisy boats. Not even much wind. Just calm, flat lake water, with a very occasional Loon bark to the west. By the woodland stream no human sounds could be heard except when I resumed walking in the dry fallen leaves. Then came faint bird songs - a flock of Robins flew in to feast on the bountiful clusters of wild grapes while quietly chirping now & then. A WB Nuthatch tooted 2x & later a Red-bellied Woodpecker called while flitting from one dead tree to another. And all the while the stream gently tumbled over the rocks & logs, making the only ‘noise.’ Donna Scott Lansing Sent from my iPhone -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
