My last blog, "An Ode to a City Park," was an ode not just to a single 11-acre city park in Chesapeake, VA, but really to all city parks (and by extension, all natural places that have been built/preserved/restored). These parks are critically important for wildlife and also for people—especially neighborhood people (see below!). Research … Continue reading An Ode to the Green Heron

An Ode to a City Park
In an earlier blog, "Trash Destroys," I mentioned an area in Chesapeake, VA known by locals as "the curve," where I'd come across a diverse pile of junk that included golf shoes, Gatorade bottles, foam boot liners, and a lawn chair.

This, the first of 2 blogs on the Killdeer, will be more like a 5K fast walk instead. But before we get down to business and begin to consider … Continue reading The Killdeer Saga

Let me begin in the same way in which I ended "Osprey Country." What a joy it is to blog and to share my thoughts and my photos with readers in this way. And let me continue by offering up a sincere and heartfelt "thank you" to those of you who have taken the time … Continue reading Osprey Country, Part 2
Trash Destroys
Well, I've done it. I've decided to republish an old blog post about trash and wildlife, with a few changes here and there, of course. I do it for several reasons. I've been at this blogging endeavor for almost a year now—so, why not try something new? I also find myself thinking about the upcoming … Continue reading Trash Destroys
