Not so lonely now that you’ve let me share it with you. Thanks for joining me. I’m so glad you came along.

Lovely  I was right there with you.  I love all of them but the scandalized robins and rock star mergansers particularly stood out.   

Funny to think that those robins still have hundreds of miles more to fly to the north. Mergansers are my favorite duck, perhaps because of their coif, but also because their visitation means spring is arriving at last. Thanks so much for reading these! 

The first flocks of robins passed through here nearly a month ago about the same time a pair of mergansers visited the pond out back and the bluebirds returned.

While there are no woods for hiking here your words brought lovely remembrances of past Spring tramps back home. Thank you.

Poetic perfection, Parker. These poems are my kind of poems... the imagery speaks to me on a deep and rewarding level. Well done, sir.

How wonderful these birds visited you too! We seem to share a delight in their arrival, which gladdens me. I’m also happy you came along on my hikes. Thank you.

I’m very glad these spoke to you. If you enjoy these scenes and visits too, then I am doubly happy. 

OK... mergansers was a completely new word. Or even a completely new species.    And your robins aren't our robins. Thank you for allowing me on your walks. I have a feeling such virtual walks will be important over the next few months.

I’m glad you enjoyed this ramble, and seeing new birds and woods. Our robins aren’t the same, but both bring us cheer. Can’t wait for for the small green shoots in the forest to bud and bloom. Thanks for reading and for your reactions.
