Is this an Olmstead creation?

Mt. Auburn Cemetery predates Olmsted by just a few decades, but according to their website, the cemetery inspired the concept of public parks and botanical gardens. Presumably Olmsted visited and enjoyed Mt. Auburn.

That first link you sent me - I'm assuming by accident - was, uh, interesting. The second one I couldn't open. But thanks for the effort. Interesting to know. Perhaps I'll look up more info on the subject.

hey! i wonder if that's the hawk i'm always seeing! did you see its breast?

It was a juvenile, trying to catch a squirrel. Here's another picture:

ah. i've seen that one once. (well, possibly that one - i suppose there could be multiple juveniles currently flitting about camberville.)

the one i've seen for the past three and a half years has a much whiter breast than the average eastern subspecies red-tail.
