Black-capped Chickadee.

As I write this,
Out there in the dark,
The wind is whipping,
Whistling in the eaves,

Northern Flicker, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 15 December 2016.

Northern Flicker.

Moving snow and leaves around.
It’s about seven or eight degrees.
My hike with dog tomorrow
Is gonna be a cold one.
