Song Sparrow (juvenile).
Took care of a midday errand, then swung by Beech Hill with Jack, but it was jammed, so we came back home, and I worked away the afternoon. Or most of it. But then we swung by again, and everything was groovy.
Cedar Waxwing.
Ran into some people I know. Bunch of birds up there. A couple little dogs. One of maybe a week’s worth of days of perfect summer weather. Sails in the bay.
Of course, waxwings.
