FEB 9, birdlore: window-strikes

If you are viewing these photos with an i-phone:
1) Hovering the selection arrow over any photo will prompt the appearance of the 'title'.
2) You can enlarge any photo (a black background may appear) by clicking it.
3) To escape from black-background-display limbo, look for a TINY 'x' in the far upper-right corner, and click there.
The procedure is mostly the same on a PC, but the tininess of the escape mechanism on my iphone7 is truly remarkable.

 a) Reprise of material posted on February 9 in previous years ...

2020: anagram swarm, tribute to a Senator (wordplay map)
2021: old world palindromes, #13 (wordplay maps) 
2022: exotic destinations, Hawaii vs. Haida Gwaii (illustrated poem)
2023: culinary verse, caponata (illustrated poem)

To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... caponata), into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slides for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice.
