Yellow-rumped Warbler.
A busy day much like the previous one, but without the lawn-mowing. Sunny and calm and cool. As Jack and I ascended the Beech Hill trail, we were surrounded by turning foliage—and yellow-rumps. But they were not the only species. Kinglet, towhee, flicker, and jay. And a raven at the end.
October leaves.
Chilly night. I’d better let Jack out to pee.
