Birds of the Platte River Road Inspire Evening Observations
A first person nature piece chronicles a Monday birding walk along the Platte river road. The author notes cedar waxwings, cardinals, yellow warblers, meadowlarks, red wing blackbirds and other calls while reflecting on camouflage, beauty and the season’s sounds. A wary deer and distant bird chatter punctuate the quiet dusk as the writer urges daily quiet reflection on nature.
