On a December morning just before Christmas, it was so cold that I could hardly hold my cell phone or camera, even though it was exciting to see geese and birds still active in Brightwood Park. The ice formation was also interesting. Here is what I saw to share with you. A pileated woodpecker came by and did posing for about 10 minutes before saying goodbye and Merry Christmas. The geese delayed their take off for about an hour due to the coldness. The captain had to yell at the pilots over and over to wake them up and get them ready. After all the squadrons were airborne, I saw one still on the ice and not moving at all. I walked around the pond and examined from 270 degrees. Finally the lone goose stood up and reported to be still alive and just not yielding to peer pressure. A squirrel was enjoying breakfast. The color of the meal appeared to be copied from the manu of Turning Point restaurant. The beefsteak mushrooms and the wood ears put on their winter coats, and decided to stay and greet friends of Brightwood Park. Comments are closed.
