[mou] Mockingbird - Ely Softball Field Complex

[Bill Tefft]

The weather systems roll through here from all directions at this time
of year and maybe that is why the softball field complex seems to get
refreshed with a new bird species or two about once a week.   I am sure
this is happening in lots of places.  It just happens that I can stop
and take a look at the complex and surrounding wetlans as I come and go
a couple times a day.

This morning there was a lot of bird activity with the sun and warmth
after yesterday's storm.  Besides the usual birds, a northern
mockingbird was actively working the road/willow edge that circles the
ballfields.

I wonder what next week will bring.
