Four does pick their way down the road, file into the woods, and surround a small rhododendron. "Stop eating that!" I yell. They bound off.

A screech owl adds its quaver to the minimal dawn chorus: mourning dove coos, finch and sparrow chirps. Snow and highway noise on the wind.

The sky takes half the morning to clear: deep blue of the almost-solstice above snowy limbs. The chickadee's two notes in a minor key.

Fine as powdered sugar, this snow. Juncos wallow in it. A Carolina wren lands on a snowy branch, ruffles its feathers, and does not sing.

The temperature has dropped again. A clearing sky, and the woods are flooded with light from the newly reflective surface of the snowpack.

Dark clouds. Steady drum of meltwater. A locomotive with the low note of its whistle stuck open like a bagpipe drone moans through the gap.
