TUESDAY TEA TIME RAMBLE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Don Doucette<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tea time this afternoon included a drive-by recon of the Oak Knoll Cemetery in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A close observation of the filled wetland within the Bucklin Brook cemetery corridor revealed a small patch of water, “about an arm load” in size, and beside that tiny patch of water, a mockingbird and song sparrow took their fill.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We also riveted on a pair of resident red tail hawk while another pair circled high over Quality Hill – and as we departed, a fifth red tail Hawk landed in one of the large cemetery oak trees with a very audible “hawk-like” screech.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

We were happy campers as we drove for a small supply of fresh Portuguese rolls from the Central Avenue Bakery.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Afternoon tea, majestic birds and fresh baked bread, nothin’ better.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
