Chilly Morn

Mourning Dove, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 28 May 2018.

Mourning Dove.

Had way more bird species on my list this morning than I figured I would. ’Cause it was in the 40s (F) when first dog and I hit the hill. And misty. Breezy. But this is spring, after all. Plus, I hear tomorrow might make it into the 80s.

In fact, I enjoy a chilly morn.

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