14 December 2025 (morning flurries)

morning flurries

the snowy owl returns

to the jetty

8 December 2025 (winter sun)

winter sun

an out-of-season warbler

gleans flies from the bricks

29 November 2025 (skim ice)

skim ice

a raft of coots huddles

along the far shore

22 November 2025 (rare bird stakeout)

rare bird stakeout —

each of us shares

a snowy owl story

29 October 2025 (riverside bird walk)

creekside bird walk

a homeless man shares

his owl sightings

1 October 2025 (distant fishing boat)

distant fishing boat . . .

the green within

a sunlit wave

Bonus haiku by my friend Bryan:

fallout

glowing

warblers

29 September 2025 (rustling poplars)

rustling poplars

a cuckoo slips unseen

from the thicket

20 September 2025 (morning chill)

morning chill

keeping the warblers

to myself

30 August 2025 (late summer sky)

late summer sky . . .

someone’s checkmarks

in an old bird book

30 April 2025 (a chickadee first)

a chickadee first

to try the new birdbath

spring wind

8 March 2025 (March wind)

March wind

a perched shrike teeters

between seasons
