Wren on the suet--

we just might make it

through the winter.

July 23: Yard bird

First thing this morning--
sudden wren serenade
while I check my email.

April 13: The Masters

Watching golf on TV, immersed in another, much warmer climate...

Golfer about to swing.
Carolina Wren's loud song
fills the green hush.

November 13: Carolina Wren visits our feeder

According to my notes, a Carolina Wren last visited our bird feeder in 2006. I was especially surprised to see one on this cold morning, as they're a southern species that's moved into the northern climes of Maine only recently. Even though I was running late this morning, I had to stop and admire this uncommon bird-visitor on the other side of the kitchen window.

Washing breakfast dishes,
I pause to watch
a wren at the feeder.
