Many robins.

Many species at Beech Hill this half-cloudy morning, but they were busy, nervous, sneaking around. I tried to stalk a few with little success—but what a joy to hear and see so many little critters flitting here and there.

Saw evidence of the neighborhood coyote, too. I feel sure that canine and Jack know each other by now.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
