26 April 2026 (emerging birch catkins)

emerging birch catkins . . .

a fat-cheeked chipmunk

dashes under the shed

14 April 2026 (golden hour)

golden hour

arranging bits of cheese

to entice a crow

11 April 2026 (burying)

burying the goldfinch . . .

leafless branches clack

with each gust

3 April 2026 (spring rain)

spring rain

a crow knocks on the roof

to get my attention

2 April 2026 (paschal moon)

paschal moon —

something stirring

within the tulip bulbs

23 March 2026 (on the dead tree)

clinging to the dead tree

we left up for woodpeckers

spring snow

9 March 2026 (first warm day)

first warm day

a hawk snatches

a finch from the feeder

7 March 2026 (rain softening)

rain softening

old snow — one crow

preens the other

4 March 2026 (new snow)

new snow

shadows of birds pass through

shadows of trees

27 February 2026 (it's always something)

it’s always something

crows relay calls up and

down the river

22 February 2026 (dripping eaves)

dripping eaves . . .

from the heated bird bath

a spray of bluebirds
