Northern Harrier.
Did not feel well today and so spent much of it lounging around and napping. (Napping? Seriously? I hardly ever nap.) When I looked up at the clock and saw there wasn’t much daylight left, I grabbed Jack and we scrambled up to Beech Hill.
Yellow-rumped Warbler.
A good bunch of people up there. And dogs. And Yellow-rumped Warblers. Also assorted sparrows. And on our return trip down, I spied a solitary Northern Harrier sailing away toward the southwest over the colorful landscape.
This day was a windy, cold one. What will tomorrow bring?
