Field Observation 6

I made these observations on Wednesday, April 15, from 3:00 pm to 4:00pm. It was 64°F, sunny and slightly breezy. I made these observations along the banks of the Rhein River, further upstream from one of my previous journal posts. In some places, the sides consist of manmade walkways and in other places there are small rocky beaches. The river is wide, deep and has a fast current.

I saw many clusters of Mute Swans and Mallards along the edges of the river. This was probably because there was a fair number of people sitting along the banks, and the swans/ducks were hoping to get fed. I saw an Egyptian Goose further upstream, where there were less people. I these are wild geese populations which were originally introduced to the area when they escaped captivity. On the way home I noticed a tree in a park full of many Carrion Crows and their nests. I also noticed a couple Eurasian Blue tits, House Sparrows and Rock Pigeons.
