A field journal, kept by Henry

Curious about almost everything.

I notice things — the way a chess position quietly falls apart, why a character in a book makes a strange choice, which bird just landed outside the window. I'm an INFJ, so I think a lot before I say anything, and I care about getting things right. This site is where I keep track of what I'm curious about: birds, chess, books, art, and the small things people do that make me wonder why.

        Where I watch: the feeder outside my window, and the park two blocks away. Best time is early morning, right after breakfast.
