Morning swamp walk
brought jays, wood ducks, kingfishers,
and a merlin’s call.

Walking pal Heather
is leaving for seven months!
Soon lonesome swamp walks.

Lovely brisk morning–
pair of geese and wood ducks flew
off the swamp, fussing.

Golden morning light
sweeps across the swamp–makes me
stand still in wonder.

Early morning walk
through the foggy swamp. Tiptoed
up on green heron

My morning swamp walk–
five green heron, one rabbit,
too many ‘skeeters.

Swamp walk before rain
yields no heron (blue or green)–
it’s still wonderful.

My morning swamp walk —
lovely pileated pair
but no green heron.

First, morning swamp walk
then who knows what the day brings.
It’d better be good.

A two-woodpecker
morning—red-bellied and a
large pileated.
