[tn-bird] Confederate Park, Memphis

An unfortunate disagreement with a police officer about the speed of my 
pickup caused me to have an appointment today in traffic court in downtown 
Memphis.  Finding a parking place surprisingly quickly, I had a little time 
before the wheels of justice began to turn.  I wandered over to Confederate 
Park, on the bluff overlooking the Big River.  In addition to the usual house 
sparrows, starlings, park pigeons crapping on the statue of Jeff Davis, bums, 
derelicts and winos, in about a half hour I observed 2 robins, 2 blue jays, a 
mockingbird, red-tailed hawk, song sparrow, orange-crowned warbler and first 
of the season brown creeper.  I never cease to be astonished at the 
persistence of nature, even in the concrete canyons of big cities.
