Snow + Rain

Birch, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 23 December 2017.

Birch.

Snowed last night, six or eight fluffy inches. But the temperature warmed, and light rain fell, and the snow packed down to a couple-three inches, and it had an icy coating on top. Jack and I traipsed up Beech Hill with me in the lead for a change, so I could sweep away the ice crust to make it easier on his feet.

Rock Pigeons.

Not many birds to be found—but I did find some pigeons in town.

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