Dusk

Leaves like golden coins
hang on dark, barren branches
shine of kitchen light

Duty

Reluctant assembly
Shifting, shuffling, sniffling
Today's jury pool

Birding in 'Bammie: Alabama Coastal Birdfest

I have to admit it. I've been turned into an Eco-Tourist.

It didn't take much -- at first it was a gentle prod, then some cajoling, but no refusal allowed. So off we went -- Pia and Laura and I -- to Mobile, Alabama. Sadly, Kristin, who makes up the rest of our NoCali Bird Nerd Quartet, was unable to join us.

This photo is from an early morning bird walk around an old Gulf Oil location, essentially a superfund site. The first round of photos can be found here. More photos and trip details to come.

Listen

Shooshoosh shooshoosh shoosh
Heard overhead, I quickly
look up -- no raven

Complement

Dark, evergreen hedge --
Ah, what a surprise! Splash of
cotoneaster.
