Nippy, breezy, cloudless, lovely, fine, beautiful morning. Seven species on the hill (including a tiny flock of Bohemian waxwings). And a bunch of birds in the back yard, too—among them bluebirds and a pair of White-throated Sparrows.
I love this day.

Downy Woodpecker (famale).
Two turkeys.
One degree (F) when I first checked. Got up to about 10 by the time we hiked, Jack and me. Stout winds from the northwest made it a nippy ol’ hike. Got a woodpecker to perch for me, at least.
Later, back home, the neighborhood turkeys were active.
