I sat in the backyard of relatives in Upper Montclair, N. J. today and in just a few minutes saw a catbird, a gold finch and a blackcapped chickadee. Typical for Montclair, NJ, but since I no longer live there, it's not typical for me. On the NJ Transit train ride through the Meadowlands there and back I saw egrets, herons, mute swans and gulls.
