Birding with the best

This weakened, on a cold northernly blown day, I tickled my ornithological fancies on a Birding trip to various places with Thomas, Mr. Doctor professor, and his good friend Peter. The most prominent feature of the day blotted out the sky above in ragged dark formations. Double Crested Cormorants everywhere! Cormorants in the sky, sitting Cormorants, wading Cormorants, swimming Cormorants, diving Cormorants, wet Cormorants, dry Cormorants, Juvenile Cormorants, old Cormorants, middle aged Cormorants, all of them scraggly, cold, and South bound. On this trip we also saw a plethora of Sparrows, the most common of which was the House Sparrow. Myrtle Warblers invaded our vision, flitting from every describable angle, only to disappear again with a tiny flash of yellow and white. A less common bird that was seen on the trip was a Palm Warbler, which was spotted amidst the multitude of Robins, Myrtles, and over the hearty dialogue between Doctor Hugh and a lone Screech Owl.
