Foggy Apparitions

Canada Goose & Ring-billed Gulls
A time of changing seasons, transitioning from cold to warmth.
Apparitions move about, having travelled from lands afar.
All settling into the approaching season with questions.

On the Ice at Sunrise

Canada Goose
The sunrise reveals a change in season, shrinking winter ice.
On the ice, a meeting awaits a decision from Nature.
Conflict or connection - or a choice that transcends all around?

Nature’s an Artist

Cedar Waxwing
A cool bright morning, Nature’s canvas of beauty and living.
A flock of winged creatures, carefully picks at the offerings.
A single question: what Artist has created all of this?

Sumac Breakfast

House Finch
A sunny Winter morning, rays of warmth bathing all below.
A traveller approaches, having returned from a journey.
Stopping to admire, watching a small being of reddish hue.

Brief Moment

Downy Woodpecker
In a stand of trees, chirps and calls attract attention nearby.
The cheerful commotion, brings you nearer for a closer look.
Your forest companions have discovered food, enough for all.

Will Caw for Peanuts

American Crows
A cold bright Winter morning, clear blue skies to infinity.
A family of three moves quickly by wing, following their friend.
All are ever watchful, for dangers around, and for rewards.

Morning Snowfall

Cooper’s Hawk
A snowy morning, large flakes falling silently on the lake.
Perched afar, a lone figure is watching the world intently.
The silence is broken by cries and the crunching of footfalls.

An Eagle, a Raven, and Crows

Bald Eagle, Common Raven, American Crows
A morning meal shared with tensions aside, temporarily.
Attracting attention, more gather with hopes of joining soon.
Three diners of different spirit, eat together in truce.

Competition

Common Goldeneye
Mid-Winter encounters on the cold river, setting the stage,
For things to come in Spring, numbers increasing for some...others
Must wait for their turn, when the Seasons circle back once again.

Stoically Sensing

Black-crowned Night Heron
Nearing the Autumn season, a figure stands stoically.
Waiting: challenges above and opportunities below.
Sensing all from both worlds, standing at the surface that divides.
