On my wall

It’s the beginning of January, and I’ve acquired yet another bird calendar. This year, I opted for Roger Tory Peterson over the usual, sensible Sibley calendar (I still love Sibley, don’t get me wrong, it was just that the somewhat unsightly idea of having a Canada Goose — of all possible birds in the universe — grace my birthday month saddened me a little; hence the change). I’m not disappointed in the least, since September 2012 will be the month of Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus).

Not bad, Roger Tory Peterson! I’m delighted to spend 2012 with you!
