Spent the middle part of today trash patrolling the Sudbury River from the South Bridge to Lee's Bridge under yet another moody sky. The air was fairly humid and when the sun would peek out for a minute or two it would start to feel almost sultry (like maybe it was summertime or something).
Providing a dash of color to the many shades of green were these goldfinches...
Martha's Point also chipped in with some yellow and purple flowers...
Other wildlife seen today were red-winged blackbirds, blue herons, Canada geese, mallards, easter kingbirds, tree swallows, and painted turtles.
At Lee's Bridge, the smaller portal proved a close shave. Almost had to take my hat off!...
Turned around after passing under Rt 117 and, for variety's sake, headed through the larger portal to start my downstream leg.
Trash today was fairly light. Heath's Bridge contributed the most and, as usual, it was left by shore fishermen. One item was a cardboard container of "Pollo Campero" which listed several Central American countries on the label.
Brooke Island had an empty Arizona Iced Tea container placed prominently on the beach. Perhaps it was an 'offering'?
I arrived at my takeout location with 26 pieces of trash. Of these 9 were recyclable (5 redeemable) and 17 were misc. rubbish such as styrofoam containers, plastic bags, bait tubs, etc....
My YTD total stands at 2499.
