Gray Ghost (Northern Harrier).
Such a busy day: loads of work, no lunch, hike quick with Jack, home late. Fruitful but tiring.
American crow.
On our expedited Beech Hill hike, I counted seven flickers bouncing around the slopes and a single male harrier floating low above them. Heard and spied a few other species, but nothing outlandishly noteworthy.
Although I did like the look of a posing crow.
