Peach-streaked sky

Hairy Woodpecker, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 09 December 2015.

Hairy Woodpecker.

Gray and nippy—but dry, without much wind. The stream out back has slowed down some, but the little flock of neighborhood doves still likes poking around down there.

Monhegan Island, from Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 09 December 2015.

Monhegan Island.

Late to the hill with dog. Nobody else there but me, Jack, and a few birds. That is, until we were descending and met a couple fellow hikers.

Nippy and gray—but off to the south, Monhegan Island floated beneath a warm-looking, peach-streaked sky.

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