The bay today.

On this nippy, windy, overcast morning—after a change back to Eastern Standard Time—I just missed: two photos of a vocal Pileated Woodpecker, a photo of a very near Golden-crowned Kinglet; a photo of a cruising Northern Harrier; a photo of a pair of trailside Snow Buntings.

I did get a blurry photo of the harrier, at least.
