essay: My Final Days on the Maine Coast (Joseph Monninger & Cig Harvey/Downeast). A beautiful essay, a cloud floating past. “Diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, a writer meditates on life, death, and beauty from his small seaside cottage down east.”
article: Scouting for Summer: Evergreen Wetland Herbs (Peter Grima /Northern Woodlands). Finding green foliage in winter: Naked Mitrewort (Mitella nuda), One-Sided Shinleaf (Orthilia secunda), and Dwarf Scouring-Rush (Equisetum scirpoides), a variety of horsetail.
birdsong/audio: Best Bird Sounds (Cornell Labs). Fourteen recent audiorecords, of beautiful sounds, virtuosic singers, capturing natural moments (like a juvenile learning its song), and exemplary recording techniques. Also an American pika!
essay: An open letter to 56 people I know (Sasha Chapin). I like a lot of these and can apply them to people in my life too.
