East Astoria waterfront and Astoria Sewage Ponds
01/17/2002

I took a nice walk along the waterfront this morning from the
east mooring basin to Astoria Sewage Ponds this morning. It was
very cold with a slick of ice over the roads and pathways.
Highlights included an AMERICAN BITTERN at the sewage ponds and
a small flock of TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS feeding on the ground at
the trailer park feeder near the mooring basin.

Astoria, OR that all through history
celata at pacifier.com the way of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible,
but in the end they always fall.
Think of it...always.
