I was first at my polling place and finished by 6:01 -- a line was forming. To try and calm the anxiety after coffee at The Black Cow (decaf today) of what may be a historic day I headed to Croton Point Park. There were season firsts of red throated loon on the river by the rocks just off shore and just north of the gazebo and also first buffleheads -- not sure if these black and white feathered birds are an omen of something. Other sightings of note kingfisher, large pipit flock moving around, perched merlin and two osprey -- which ebird shows as "rare" for this late date.
I leave you with this which was spray painted on a building on one of those windy "streets" in Sevilla where I visited last month: "Ser antifascista es lo normal". L.
