This morning it was high tide, very high tide. It was higher than I’ve ever seen it.
I was going to go on a hike – but the parking lot where the trail head is was flooded. Well not flooded exactly, it was part of the ocean. So on to plan B.
Drive on Atlantic Avenue and see what’s there.
Yup – more road meets water.
Not from the rain like usual, this was the salt pond taking over the road.
Plan C – go visit my Osprey nests and see if I can find any ducks.
Nothing, nada, zip, zilch.
Plan D – do my errands and try again later, when it is low tide.
The life of a birder – it all depends on tides, weather and of course the birds themselves. They all shift and move to their own rhythms. My goal is to absorb those rhythms, to be in sync with them.
Wish me luck.
