south bethlehem greenway part 2

Lydia worked until two today, so I suggested we walk on the greenway from the skate park headed east. We planned on meeting at the skate park at two fifteen.

The greenway is paved from New Street to the casino, then it switches to unpaved larger rocks. They feel like boulders under your feet. And frankly they are the size that you use for rock painting. Then it switches to gravel near the Lynn Street bridge, and switches again to macadam at the entrance from Lynnfield Terrace. Of course it switches one more time back to gravel before it ends at Saucon Park.

As we walked under the Lynn Street bridge, there was a noise. What was that. Then we heard it again, it was frogs! In South Bethlehem. On one side we were next to a swampy area with milk week, and on the other railroad tracks and 4th Street.  Frogs shouldn't be living in the urban jungle, should they? Looking over the bridge at Lynnfied Terrace we heard several, and Lydia found one.

Further down the path, near the end, we arrived at the eagle tower and the eagles were home. There was two sets of wings, flapping up. Was she sitting on the eggs? Did they hatch? We'll never know.
