Yesterday, 1:30 p.m., Elizabeth St. Park, Lexington, KY. As I was leaving the
park after a quick peruse and having seen only a few Robins I noticed a couple
of small birds splashing in a puddle the size of a dinner plate (I'm sure it's
more like a small swimming pool today). Binos up and lo and behold a Cape May
and Yellow Rump warbler bathing...after all this rain? A few steps closer I
started scanning the line of 5-6 spruce trees along the sidewalk. Immediatley,
a Magnolia came into view and as the CM and YR left the puddle the Magnolia
took his turn at the puddle. Within a few minutes I saw another Cape May, a
Black Poll, more Yellow Rumps, a N. Parula, and a Pine Warbler. This occurred
in a span of 5 minutes and within 20 feet of where I was standing...then,poof,
they were gone as quickly as they came. Oh, what small delights to make this
sogginess a bit tolerable.
BTW: The Elizabeth St. Park is a small jewell of park in itself...tucked away
amongst UK rental housing between Waller Ave. and Arcadia Park Dr.,
unfortunatley, the park has no parking except on street. A true neighborhood
park, but worth a brief visit if you're in the area.
