My feet are achy, and so are various other joints and muscles. They remind me that it’s been a few days since I’ve had a true rest day - so while Rachael cranks out another 47 riding up Oro Valley I decide to loaf. Ever since we arrived in town I’ve mentioned to Rachael that I was going to bike out to the fishing pond in J.F. Kennedy Park to check out the bird situation. No better time.
So, no interesting ride to report; just some bird pics. Well, some bird pics plus one other. Ms. Grumby asked what the covering was on the warehouse roof in that snow-like scene I snapped last week, so I stopped by to check it out. It’s canvas, or perhaps some heavy plastic; and once I looked around I noticed many other structures wrapped the same way, something that had escaped my notice before now. I wonder what this is about - maybe they’re to reflect more sunlight and reduce air conditioning requirements?
In Kennedy Park the bird scene looks much as it did last winter: hundreds of doves and grackles on the land and many coots on the pond, with a few others strewn in the mix.
