Sun and moon

Thursday, January 5th, 2012
Sunset, from Beech Hill, Rockport, Maine, 05 January 2012.

Sunset.

A run-around day. May pigeons wheeling around town. A little cluster of Bonaparte’s gulls at Clam Cove. Not a lot of time to hike at the end of it for Jack and me—but it was a nice one. Nippy, fresh air. Chickawaukie Lake is about frozen over finally, but in a little river of open water, I spied the raft of coots.

Moon.

Mostly, though, I admired the setting sun and the rising moon.

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