This is my bit of a blog. Rambling words about rambling days. No focus and nothing ambitious. I seem to write most about local color, nature, and animals, and there is an incomplete chunk about my road trips of 2011.

Birding from the Kitchen Table

Around 10:50 AM. Tea and banana bread. Outside, cold, damp, overcast.

In the far, craggy tree, a big, handsome, red squirrel and a nuthatch. Then two blue jays. Then, in the near, svelte tree, a red-bellied woodpecker, looking into the hole, and a blue jay, closer, on the ground. 

Oo, next, on the kneecap of the svelte tree, a bluebird.

11:04 AM. On the ground, between the svelte tree and the house, a robin.

The woodpecker again, looking into the hole, now tossing scraps out.

Bluebird again, ground, then kneecap.
