June 30: Wild strawberries

Sorry waxwings--
I've eaten all
the ripe strawberries here.

June 24: In the garden

Waxwing family--
we aren't the only ones
eyeing the ripe strawberries.

June 4: Bliss

Lifting fog, field of lupines.
Seaside apple tree
humming with waxwings.

May 24: Birding basics

Watching the apple tree
she remembers this:
Look for movement.

August 22: Summer on the hill

Beers on the porch.
Waxwings catch flies in the field,
fly off together.

August 11: Waxwings in the blueberries

My mother's birthday.
Waxwings gorge on blueberries,
a happy flock.

And Mom, you'll appreciate this: later in the day, the blueberries were approached by an acquisitive family of four crows that strutted together right down the driveway for a snack, much to the annoyance of the local Blue Jays.

June 22: Waxwings

While hiking along the Georges River canal path this morning in Warren, amid the ruins of the 19th century canal, close to the rushing water...
 
Above river's roar
we hear, then see
a happy flock of waxwings.
