Unlike the people we saw drive to within feet of the daffodils, take a couple of selfies and then immediately depart again; we parked at the top of the cemetery, enjoyed a walk and spent some time with the other nature of the area. This is some of what we saw and heard:
 |
| This chipmunk glared at me while I was trying to see the birds we were hearing |
 |
| One of those birds - an eastern phoebe |
 |
| Another eastern phoebe posed (briefly) later |
 |
| Just before this photo, the female bufflehead seemed to nearly collide with the goose as it landed. |
We also identified both a song sparrow and a white-throated sparrow. We saw and heard (but only got the blurriest of photos of) a pine warbler and we heard a large crowd of crows seemingly very upset about something - probably a bird of prey - but failed to see what it was.
We had one other interesting bird encounter, but I'll save that for a post of its own.
