Chestnut-sided Warbler
A period of intermittent rain and steady humidity is upon us. Also a period of wild birds feeding fledglings. Still. Including—possibly—the raven family. Saw and/or heard three or four in the lower Beech Hill feeds this morning.
Raven on a mission.
Also saw and/or heard twenty-five other species on the hill today—and four more elsewhere.
Seems summer is in fact upon us.
