 Northern Flicker. This morning was so chilly that I wore a hoodie, jeans, and socks with my sandals. Right about 50 degrees (F) when Jack and I arrived at the hill. Thought there might be some migrating birds around—and there were.
 Red-breasted Nuthatch. The most noteworthy among them: a Northern Harrier that floated above and beyond the treetops just as we returned.

 Broad-winged Hawk. I forgot my binoculars this morning. First time ever, I’m pretty sure. But I still managed to spot quite a few bird species—and even photograph a very still female cardinal after hearing her soft chip, then gazing into the greenery and seeing what looked like a prematurely red leaf, perfectly still, in the shape of a female cardinal.
 Northern Cardinal. Also happened upon a juvie Broad-winged Hawk on a utility line.
