> Spring! Western Chorus Frogs calling! Checked Bluebird boxes at my favorite
> unknown urban gem, Hartmeyer Park (to be, hopefully) between N Sherman and
> Oscar Mayer. Stayed a while to pick up 3 trash cans of winter litter by the
> street edges, beautiful Oak Opening rise, wetland pond and old ball field.
> Rewarded with the delightful appearance of a Bluebird pair in the low Oak
> branches and entering the box, calling and feeding Sandhills in the old field
> upland, and a perched screaming Red-tailed Hawk. Northern Shovelers also
> feeding, last year at least one pair nested along with Pied Billed Grebes.
> Wonderful urban wetland remnant, it should be saved as a conservation park.
