11 June 2021 (lost cats)

one town runs into another

every mile a different

lost cat poster

10 June 2021 (swallowtail)

this fierce longing

for summer

tiger swallowtail

9 June 2021 (peonies)

first peonies . . .

amid all the other birdsong

a dove’s low coos

8 June 2021 (ants)

early morning rush sugar ants

7 June 2021 (vireo)

some stories

take all day to tell

red-eyed vireo

6 June 2021 (Somes Sound)

Somes Sound

thrush song rising

from the spruces

5 June 2021 (hot)

first hot day

swifts careen

over a parking lot

(Playing catch-up after a weekend of guiding at the Acadia Birding Festival with little free time to post.)

4 June 2021 (azaleas)

azalea garden

a woman all in pink

takes a selfie

3 June 2021 (faith)

faith

knowing by song alone

the red-eyed vireo

2 June 2021 (nest)

warm spell

another finch egg

in the back porch nest

1 June 2021 (lilacs)

southerly wind

the fog redolent

of lilacs
