 Savannah Sparrow (juvie). Sun today, pretty much all day, with large, luscious clouds. Even some rain in the sun late—and a rainbow.

 Eastern Towhee. Heavy morning fog again, and warm, and then the fog withdrew just about the time Jack and I hit Beech Hill in mid-afternoon. Lots of birds around (Broad-winged Hawk among them), many with antsy little youngsters. Also dragonflies.
