Bog-springs in Greensborro, North Carolina

A super lush, green, and dense area in central Greensborro.

Now for you folks who are native Arizonians, you just may know what's in a BOG.

Things like mosquitoes, tics, leaches, OH, yes and BIRDS and other good stuff to photograph.

This BOG has a very nice board walk through it, however you can get off of it if you DARE.

*************************************************

Well, this looks as good a place any to start walking through this BOG.

**********************************************************************

This must be the BOG greeter or it's looking for a hand-out.

*********************************

What's that on my right. Looks like a Gray Catbird. I think it is about to fly over to the other side of the walkway.

**********************************************************

Just as I thought, it must see a nice juicy bug or something down there in the dense under brush.

**************************************************

Seems to be getting much more dense as I walk into the BOG.

***************************************

Every now and then I will turn around only to see the Catbird following me.
It must be those tasty meal worms I keep dropping as I walk along.

He's going to ignore me and pretend I am not there or he doesn't see me.

************************************

**********************************************

Like I said, you can get off the boardwalk if you DARE to :-))

***************************

I thought I heard a cat calling in there???

Now I know why they this bird a "Catbird" it sounds just like a cat meowing.

**********************************************

Now is nice. A Stream I think.
I had better look this area over very closely.

*******************************

At first I did not see this Bull Frog but it made the mistake of moving otherwise I would have never seen it.

*********************************************

There just has to be a critter in here some where.

*************************************************

Lurking in the shadows a very nice Green Heron.

*****************************************************

I had better get back on that board walk because my shoes are really soaking up the Bog water.

And look who was there to great me.

***********************************************

And just across the board walk was another one.

******************************************

OH, I see what its looking at.

Another Gray Catbird hidden in the dense greenery.

******************************************************

Well, that's about it for BOG SPRINGS
I seem to have gone full circle and am back where I started.

Better head back to the old car, you have have only been a few minutes but I have been here all day.

***************************************

At the entrance to the BOG there is a very small park area with bird seed feeders set up plus nice resting benches for us oldies to rest on and watch for any stray birds that just happen buy. And sure enough one just that. First to the feed and then to the ground.

One Brown Thrasher.
