Awaken to a raven’s call
Slip outside, star-struck, midnight, midwinter
See hawk wing marks on new snow
Film through your window, an owl stalking…
Snatching… devouring a shrew
Listen to peepers to celebrate Mothers’ Day
Discover a hummingbird egg on the trail
Admire fresh bear prints in your neighbor’s garden
View a swamp wholly blue, later yellow, with wildflowers.
Roust a deer from your garden—twice within minutes
Overstep orchids on a lakeside path
Glimpse a bear while berry picking
Follow an osprey, lakeside, from perch to perch
See an hour’s harvest: a hundred rainbow-hued mushrooms
Catch a faint drift of fox scent while walking
Watch a heron chase another around the lake
Witness an eagle, from nowhere, seize the fish you just threw back?
