As I read this piece I wondered why Greg didn’t editâ?? which is apparently what he does, because most of the time the pieces he writes are nicely constructed.

But I stayed with it, and appreciate the flow. Sort of like a mind-trip through birding. With impressive species knowledge, too.

And I never really noticed the paucity of squirrels here after the Red Shouldered Hawk set up a nest in the Black Olive trees. But there you go.
