a tiny owl was found nestled in the branches
of the NYC Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
the Saw-whet was discovered by workers
as they prepared to set up the 75 foot Norwegian Spruce
in midtown Manhattan
thirsty and hungry
at first his prognosis was uncertain
but after being taken in by the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center
he will be released in a matter of days
a little visitor to The Big Apple
headed back home
for the holidays
a great fox-spider has been sighted in the UK
the first of its kind seen in 21 years
one of the largest members of the wolf-spider family
it is a venomous arachnid but poses no threat to humans
agile
speedy
with wraparound vision
a little ray in the age
of loss and extinction
the gazebo feeder was empty
the gazebo feeder has been filled
waiting for hungry beaks to return
rain
snow
and still
long brown grasses i'm glad we left standing
brushing in the wind
record high numbers
the veils are thin
soon to fall back
and hold tight
take care
everyone
some hammering
some yammering
a small golden spider
making her way home
on the rust rug
thin veils
small world
wearying news of the world
is this why i feel
so sleepy?
lots of busyness today
the Chickadee brigade out
full feathered force
