Wooster Square Blossom Blog
Supports Breast Cancer Awareness month
It's hard to believe that this golden summer has slipped away, leaving colder nights and colorful days. One must realize that life here on this big blue ball is particularly short, I mean in the scheme of all things. As in life, as for the Cherry Blossoms. For thousands of years the Cherry Blossom Seasons have been revered for their beauty, as well as their hasty, abrupt disappearance.
In a short time there is
anticipation, amazement, & happiness. The Blossoms are not gone, they are reborn. The Blossoms help the tree grow, and produce more
jaw dropping beauty.
Pink Nation!
"Sweet Sakura's Song;
Blossoms, Summer's Shade, Autumn;
Each year we're still Awed"
Bart and Cheryl's Haiku - 2014
Ah, but Fall. What a wonderous season of Baseball World Series, Football and here come the Holidays!
Pull out the sweat shirts, scarves and mittens!
Not just yet.
Speaking of Football, on the anniversary of the
100th year of the Yale Bowl,
they creamed Army in overtime!*
*(I am told that overtime is when both teams are tied with no time left. Whoever scores first wins... So technically they did not cream them...)
The game was just not historic, good and exciting;
it was named
College Game of the week!
Way to go Bulldogs!
Yale followed the next week with another
big win over Cornell.
This Week, the Eli's take on Dartmouth at home!

Little rainy today!
This dry summer we had here in the East (nothing like the drought in the Western US), is having it's effects felt already. I heard from the birding community that dry summers mean fewer and smaller nuts, seeds and berries. Particularly among the hardest hit, acorns, which Squirrels need in abundance to survive a tough winter. And the Birds that stay and migrate here for the winter, it means less yummies for their beautiful feathery tummies.
So for the sake of our Fine Feathered Flying Friends,
put out a feeder for the Winter! They say just watching the birds lowers your blood pressure and puts you into a better mood.
While you are at it, put a bell on your cat. Cats have had an adverse effect on our birds
here in North America.
Unfortunately, both Cheryl and I came down with
really bad colds for this time of the year.
However, the Blossom Blog Mainframe never
gets sick, never complains and churns out
facts and figures on everything local and fun!

Back to earth... living so near to Wooster Street, sometimes just having to smell Pepe's, Sally's, Abate's... just about can drive one mad!
Last weekend, I biked down to
Lighthouse Point, New Haven.
click here for a map on Google maps!
Lighthouse Point is an official
"Hawk Watch" site for the Audubon Society.
Volunteers stand and look for, count and
keep a tally of all the Hawks, Eagles, Osprey
and other such Big Ass Birds!
(I am certain that is not
the technical birding term)
(Although, the American Kestral is small)
Hawk watchers watching for Hawks,
like a Hawk!
American Kestral Came Calling...
"See you Next Spring!"
Also, other birds migrate through our fair City
and this wonderful park on Long Island Sound.
I never knew Blue Jays migrated, but a
"Hawker" told me they do... the ones
around here for the winter, came from somewhere
north of Connecticut.
One Blue Jay...
Another Blue Jay...
Two Blue Jays...
Few more Blue Jays...
Tons of Blue Jays!
Yellow Rumped Warbler Migrating Through..
Did that Bird just Moon me?

Many thanks to Chris Loscalzo (one of New England's leading Birders) and his wife Marianne, who took Cheryl and I out on
a private birding walk at Lighthouse Point!
(otherwise, I wouldn't know a Rump from my elbow!)
