Hawk and chickadee

Sunday, February 26th, 2012
Black-capped chickadee, Beech Hill, Rockport, Maine, 26 February 2012.

Black-capped chickadee.

The black-capped chickadee visited at Beech Hill—a windy hill of sun and chill. The sharp-shinned hawk visited on my return in a high branch of an oak tree on the hill out back. It stayed a minute but didn’t want to pose for photos. As it zipped away up the hill, I heard the distant voices of crows.

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