Furstenberg Nature Area - 02 Oct 2024
Robin had a workshop at the Ann Arbor Art Center this morning, so my plan was to drop her off and head over to Nichol's Arboretum. Skies were clear and it was a cool 60F this morning at 10 am. Having dropped her off I headed to Nichol's Arboretum but could not find anywhere to park. So I drove along the perimeter of the arboretum looking for somewhere to park that wasn't UM Permit Parking Only but dipped. But, I managed to find myself on Fuller Road and near the Nature Area, so I pulled in and planned to spend the next 2.5 hours kicking around. Black-capped Chickadees and White-throated Sparrows were vocal and abundant this morning. At least a dozen of the White-throated Sparrows were moving through the brush next to the trails and I was happy that my ISO limit was 64,000! The Huron River separates the Nature Area from the Arboretum and this morning was calm with flocks of Cedar Waxwings working the far shore. Mallard and Canada Geese were quietly enjoying the morning
