More good things (backtrack)
On New Year's Day, Jay and I went for a brief walk around the nearby Great Swamp, a national wildlife refuge.
We walked along two trails -- boardwalks through the swamp -- to observation blinds. Each blind had a bird feeder in view and you could watch various birds, including a cardinal and a blue jay, visit the feeder.
It was a cold and clear day, good for hiking.
I'd been to the swamp before, but it's about an hour out of New York and going there used to be more of an expedition. It's nice to have it in my backyard. Now, Jay and I can see the swamp change with the seasons.
