Small Wonders: Alarm Calls

July 31, 2026

About a year ago, on the way to work, I stopped to admire a Black-capped Chickadee that had landed in a small tree only a few feet away.

But I came home from the Borestone Mountain Monson Arts nature journaling workshop, this June, having discovered a new way to communicate artistically through immersion in the natural world. This, in a nutshell, is the goal of this collaboration. For the fourth year in […]
