Dark-eyed Junco.
Rain early, hike late.
Alone with the dog
In the fog on the hill.
Black-capped Chickadee.
Few birds’ voices,
Then a Hermit Thrush
On the trail so near us,
But I missed the shot.
Not so the junco
Down in the tick-filled woods.
Yellow-rumped Warblers
All over the place.
Plucked twenty ticks off Jack.
