You gotta love something called the "Patagonia picnic table effect"! I've never heard of that, but it makes sense that birds would be more readily perceived in a place with a lot of birders.<br /><br />Ms. Moon: The cemetery in Cozumel looks amazing. A bit like the one in Key West, actually. Cemeteries are often such fascinating places.<br /><br />Reya: I didn't even think of my excursion in relationship to your post about the ghosts out and about at this time of year! But you're right, it IS timely!<br /><br />Bug: Indeed! Post pictures!<br /><br />Lynne: Sleepy Hollow would make a GREAT blog post. I'm guessing the Headless Horseman is retired by now. :)<br /><br />Sharon: Highgate is on my list of places to visit as well!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-66809785993824218692012-10-16T22:17:42.620+01:002012-10-16T22:17:42.620+01:00You got some great photos here.

The old ones are the best.<br /><br />I keep telling myself to drive over to Sleepy Hollow and visit the cemetery there. It would be the perfect time of year for that, yes?

Wow. I would love ...That IS a very handsome pigeon!<br />Wow. I would love to spend hours in that cemetery. One of my favorite places in my favorite place (Cozumel, Mexico) is the cemetery in the downtown area. For some pictures of a very, very different (and yet, with similarities) place to spend eternity, you can go see the pictures I took in Cozumel last January.<br />http://www.blessourhearts.net/2012/01/village-i-could-live-in-for-eternity.htmlMs. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-66399403184691097552012-10-16T12:25:26.166+01:002012-10-16T12:25:26.166+01:00What an awesome cemetery! Your line about cemeter...What an awesome cemetery! Your line about cemeteries being good for birdwatching reminded me of the so-called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patagonia_picnic_table_effect" rel="nofollow">Patagonia picnic table effect</a>, which basically suggests that places become renowned for attracting rare birds mainly because they attract lots of <i>birders</i>. The more birders you have sitting at any random picnic table, the more likely rare birds will be spotted.Loriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610684937868696220noreply@blogger.com
