A journal of outdoor observation, written in response to the simple act of paying close attention for an hour a day to the natural sights and sounds of an ordinary backyard in Decatur, Georgia, or wherever my travels take me, with the intention of recording the single most interesting perception of the hour. The challenge has taught me to expect the unexpected!

American Goldfinch
First noticed 4/3
Mottled gray green of feathers
Slow molt to yellow
Begins the mating
season for tiny goldfinch
Later than most birds
Must wait for thistle
to make seed fluff for lining
their nests with softness
