Savannah Sparrow.
Light rain this morning. Then a short downpour. Then a break in the rain—which is when Jack and I took a quick hike up Beech Hill. Had more birds on my list than I expected to have (although I saw only a few). As we descended, it began to rain lightly again, but the heavy stuff waited until we got home.
I do love a rainy day.
