On my walk: Cedar Waxwings perched on a Sweetgum tree dripping with Spanish moss. I love their Mohawks and black Zorro masks. They’re wintering over on the island, descending out of nowhere in big loud flocks and taking off just as fast.

On my walk: birds at the beach. I love the way they all face into the wind to keep their feathers from ruffling. It also lets them use the wind to take off quickly if they need to. 🪶
