park

Today when I went down to the park for the first time today, it was sunny but cold.
When I was walking out to the end of the breakwater, I saw a great blue heron flying, and I also heard it.
When I was out at the end of the breakwater, I saw some sea gulls, crows and ducks.
When I was on the sidewalk by sage beach, I saw some more ducks and some harlequins out in the water.
When I was nearing the battle site bench, I saw one varied thrush, on a log by the trail looking at me. When I got closer, it hopped out onto the beach.
When I was at the battle site bench, it was a little windy and it saw sort of low tide. When I was standing there, I saw some sea gulls.
When I was on the trail by the trail by the river, I saw some swans and sea gulls.
When I was on the trail by the river, I saw two geese and some ducks and mergansers.
When I was near the end of the trail by the river, I saw that there was ice over the grass by the trail I was on, like the water had frozen when the tide was in and when it went out, it left the ice.
When I was on my way back home, I heard some crows.
Why was the great blue heron flying?
Why didn’t the ice go out with the tide?
Why were there only two geese?
