Inspiration Garden at Mt. Fir Park in Independence is a favorite birding location for us. We went there this morning to seek solace in these tyrannical Trump times. There were no ICE agents lurking in the parking lots, nor military helicopters overhead, only the drone of a small private plane. People were walking their dogs; volunteers were working at trimming the shrubs. Birds sang; flowers still continue to bloom. Ash Creek lies placid, awaiting the coming fall rains. The air was fresh, the sun was shining, all was right with the world. We identified birds, took photos, and made an eBird List. All the lies, hate and greed of this administration seemed miles away. The leaves will die and fall to the ground; we wait with hope for the magic of new life to fill our world once again.
