eagle nest at Greenwich.

I arrived just in time to see a raven leave the nest.  Today I walked =
from town to the nest, and I could clearly see the tail of an apparently =
sitting or incubating raven.  And probably its mate was sitting on the =
roof of the Arena about 100 metres to the south.

noticeably swollen buds on the planted silver maples, red maple, and =
American elm.

heather bush is in pink bloom.
