A bike ride along Wissahickon Creek was not only delightful, but surprising - surprising but the number of Veerys out in the open and unafraid. Clearly, they were not quite into breeding mode, but probably needed to refuel before beginning that arduous task. Other years I have heard them singing, but most sightings were limited to brief fly-bys.

Swallows were feeding along the river - Tree, Bank, and a few very cooperative Northern Rough-winged Swallows ...

And by the way, Check out my other photo blog,
Exploring Philadelphia. It should be more active now that I am back in the city for a while.
Did you know that Philadelphia is the only major city in the United States that has a covered bridge within its city limits?
