their long pale bodies

bending over the lake

winter birches

Happy Thanksgiving!

Driftwood on the beach.

Imagining the town lost

under these waves.

August 12: Lake

The song of the Eastern Wood-pewee sounds like the three-part whistle you makes when you're trying to get someone's attention: pee-o-WEE.

 

Crawford Lake

pewee's beckoning whistle

we wade right in

July 18: Quest

Chased an alleged Yellow-billed Loon reported yesterday on Green Lake in Ellsworth. No luck, but spent a lovely morning with two friends scanning the waters from the pine-shaded dock owned by a random nice woman who graciously invited us to watch for it from her property.

 

No rare bird found.

Instead: wren's song, blueberries,

loon chicks, wide-open lake.
