Every time I visit Col. Sam Smith Park in the month of November I especially hope to see four different species of birds. I have seen each here in past Novembers but each only once or twice. Their migration paths occasionally but seldom bring them this way. Here are some photos I took of them in previous Novembers.
Purple Sandpiper:
Snow Bunting:
American Pipit:

NATURE POETRY
In slack wind of November
The fog forms and shifts.
All the world comes out again
When the fog lifts. – Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–94)
Miles Hearn
