Description
Summary:This chapter reflects on the author's struggle to go birding on her own after she broke up with her partner. A student of hers joined her on her Wednesday morning walks instead, during which they admired the Snow Goose. This Snow Goose blew in with Hurricane Sandy, which pummeled the East Coast beginning on October 27, 2012. It landed on the South Tivoli Bay, just off of the Hudson River one hundred miles north of Manhattan. As flocks of Snow Geese migrated through, it never joined its comrades en route from the Arctic heading south, perhaps to the Texas coast. The chapter also looks at ornithologist artists.
