The Wind, the Wind

Black-capped Chickadee, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 14 December 2022.
Black-capped Chickadee.

Awoke this morning to the road of high winds in the dim dawn light. Temps about freezing—but the wind, the wind. Could not imagine encountering many birds. If any.

But dog and I did encounter a few chickadees toward the summit. And on the way back down, I spotted a flicker in flight.

Crow, gull, and turkeys in town. Precipitation forecast for tomorrow.

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