Massive Fish Die-off @ Celery Farm
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in today to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
I looked out my window this afternoon and saw two very engaged birders looking into the trees along the trail between the parking lot and the Spillway.
I had to see what had caught their eye. Turns out that Mark and Sarah Berninger were watching at least two Brown Creepers working the tree trunks.
Mark was nice enough to share some of his pix. My favorite, cropped for the blog, is above. (Thank you, Mark and Sarah!)

It is the only time I wrote a poem about a bird, and I apologize.
