An Avian Stroll of the Park
The nearby park has, needless to say, many birds, but most of them seem rather prosaic to a North American.
However, a few minutes later, I got to see a variant of our Great Blue Heron, the Graureiher, strutting about, apparently not concerned at all about the children and others cavorting nearby.
There are pigeons, magpies, and some funny little birds I have not identified despite long internet searches - colorful and flitty.
What I have NOT seen, and this alarms me a little though they are a pest in Canada, is a House sparrow. I have been reading in European and British newspapers about serious declines in their population over here.
