Two woodpeckers

Outbound ferry, Beech Hill, Rockport, Maine, 20 December 2012.

Outbound ferry.

Another busy day. A lot of running around early, a nice little party at the house of new friends late, a pleasant Beech Hill hike with dog in the middle of things. Not a lot of bird life—but I did hear two woodpecker species in quick succession, which was kind of nice.

At Beech Nut.

Snow began last night and continued overnight and a little bit today, leaving us with a couple-three inches. Today I sneezed perhaps more than I ever had in one day before. I suppose I should count myself as lucky.

Hiked Beech Hill with jack. It was nice to hear a brown creeper.

Birch.

Well, it’s moved into my head. A lot of sniffling and sneezing. But still I hiked Beech Hill with dog. Saw a few birds up there. Here’s another picture of a birch tree.
