It’s harder and harder to age in this savage republic. Even as a long-in-the-tooth perpetual adolescent, I’m not in much of a celebratory mood this year, but here are some birthday posts of yore:
Wait, I did another birthday Red-tailed Hawk in 2019?
It fell during Kestrel Week in 2018.
{In 2016 I repeated 2013, see below.]
In 2013, I had some fun scavenging literature.
Skipped 2012 all together.
This blog started in March, 2010.
3.5″ long pocket knife in the center of this enormous stump, presumably a tuliptree, as in the photo in the middle of this post. Sad to see these giants go.

Thank you, Ellen! Watching Japanese films all day, but will get into the sun tomorrow.
Happy birthday Matthew and thank you for all the beauty that you’ve shown us. I look forward to your posts every day
Thank you so much, Susan.
My old tree has quite a few rings. Also a winter baby. Have a good one!
Thank you, Joan!
Happy Birthday! May you always enjoy nature as though you just discovered it.
Thanks, Chuck. That is the great thing about nature, isn’t it; never the same river twice.
