Veery.
This morning dawned foggy and cool. As I began my hike with Jack, I thought aloud: “This seems like a thrush kind of day.” Turns out I was right about that.
Chestnut-sided Warbler.
First, I ended up getting a fairly decent video of a Hermit Thrush singing. Then I got up close and personal with a Veery. And afterward I thought (aloud), now all I need is a photo of a raven in the fog.
Got that one of those, too.
