  2. ROBERT P. TRISTRAM COFFIN Robert P. Tristram Coffin was born on March 18, 1892 (1892-1955) grew up in Brunswick, Maine on a “saltwater farm.” He attended Bowdoin, Princeton, and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar before, as well as after, serving two years in World War I. Robert won the Pulitzer Prize for his poem “Strange Holiness” in 1936. His poems were based on his New England farm life. His poems were committed to cheerful acts for the world.

  4. Frost flowers are rare. They form in areas where the ground is still warm but the air is quite cold. You usually see them after a sudden but intense cold snap. What’s likely happening is this: Water is rising from the warm ground into the stems of certain plants. It then flows out of cracks in the stems and suddenly freezes. The water may be supercooled, i.e. below freezing, but still a liquid. As it extrudes from the cracks in the stem, the water touches ice crystals on the stem, and ice immediately forms.

  5. The piping plover is a small, stocky, sandy-colored bird resembling a sandpiper. The adult has yellow-orange legs, a black band across the forehead from eye to eye, and a black ring around the base of its neck. Like other plovers, it runs in short starts and stops. When still, the piping plover blends into the pale background of open, sandy habitat on outer beaches where it feeds and nests. The bird's name derives from its call notes, plaintive bell-like whistles which are often heard before the birds are seen.

  6. Flashback Flashback: In a literary work, a flashback is an interruption of the action to present events that took place at an earlier time.
