Hyde Park Drainage Pond - Sunny, 25c, Warm

I went to Sifton Bog...didn't see much so went to the Hyde Park Drainage Pond.  It was quiet.  Canada Geese and Mallards were in the pond.  There were wild flowers here and there.  I saw a few damselflies and a couple of dragonflies. 

Birds I saw or heard....Song Sparrows, Robins, Red-winged Blackbirds, Catbird, Common Grackles, Turkey Vultures, Killdeers, Barn Swallows. White-throated Sparrow and American Goldfinches.

The Purple Swamp Iris was taken in Sifton Bog.
