Strange winter

Takin’ a hike, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 21 December 2015.

Takin’ a hike.

Warmer today—a day that began sunny but turned overcast by the time Jack and I managed to hike Beech Hill. Got a load of work done before then, as well as listed most of today’s birds.

Fae habitat.

Heard a single yellow-rump and a solitary woodpecker during our hike. Nice hike. Still unseasonably balmy thought.

And today—being the solstice—brings us to winter.

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