I Love Days Like This

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 20 February 2018.

Yellow-rumped Warbler.

Rain, drizzle, fog, thaw. Temps above freezing all day. On this morning’s hike I encountered out a diverse bunch of birds—including a little flock of yellow-rumps and a lone American Tree Sparrow. [As I was about to photograph the sparrow, a loose dog, far from his master, trotted up to greet me and Jack, so I missed it.]

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