“This is the best season of your life.”
This is the season…
This is…
This

A winter fisher

Summer’s dense foliage makes it tough to spot a kingfisher
as it rattles along the Little Crum corridor sounding the creek loudly for prey.
But the constant call of a female, tracing low flights over the water,
recently made like a beacon through the bare limbs of a bright January day.

Suddenly snow & a sprinkle of seed
draw the white-throated sparrow
closer than usual by Little Crum Creek.
