Mud and Wind and Fog

Wednesday, March 1st, 2017
American Robin, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 01 March, 2017.

American Robin.

First, underfoot,
beyond remnant underfoot ice
was mud, and then

We ascended through
a thick, drippy, fragrant fog—
fog being blown

By a strong wind.
stronger was the wind than ever
I imagined.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
