Birding has some characteristics of ghost sighting I guess. You can point out the birds to people and they can't seem to see them birds. Or squirrels, for that matter. Save for the Washington Sycip Park maintenance staff who knows my face, I still get a lot of looks from park guests which I've become accustomed to. I'm there for a number of reasons which may look or sound strange to others who are content to text under the trees, take selfies on the path, or jog on the trail. As I've often written here, I take my meditation and other rituals to the park when I can. Also Earthing or grounding. Ditto with having Dunkin' coffee and donuts (a good excuse as any to momentarily remove the face mask and shield). Then, there's spotting the wildlife.I guess some people are inclined to think wildlife exists in the forests. Can't blame them since Sycip Park is on the small side; can't really expect to spot wildlife here especially if you're not patient. But wildlife does, indeed, exist here, most often hidden in plain sight.
