Downtown Cleveland from the Summit of Gildersleeve Mountain

April 19, 2007

A beautiful sunny day. Too bad errands and social obligations prevent me from spending time outside. Lots of bird activity around the feeders but nothing unusual. The Fox Sparrows have undoubtedly moved on. The cold spring has retarded the budding and leaves. Some years the leaves are fully out by Earth Day, just a few days away. This year the trees barely have visible buds.
