Day 360 - a Year by the Sea
December 26, 2007 by OrientSee.
The winter solstice and the moon have brought very hight tides to the marsh. All kinds of stuff turns up. Today I found this very large beam up in the grass. It is probably part of a dock or a deck and now it’ll be part of the marsh. The crows and the ospreys will roost on it while eating or just watching. Winter brings many changes, some small, some large. It’s a time for surprises of all sorts. The last week brought lots of snow, wind and rain. The holidays were added to the mix which meant that I didn’t get out until today. The Cooper’s Hawk was perched high above the back entrance to Suffolk Downs this morning waiting for his breakfast. There are usually lots of small birds foraging early in the morning but today there were none while the hawk was waiting. Although it was warmer today, there was less activity than when the snow lay heavy on everything. It’s kind of puzzling!
Ciao!
