Song Sparrow.
Lovely, cool, and bright first thing. Lots of birds and their fledglings about, mostly kept well hidden. Got a glimpse of a young robin and heard fledgling chippies and catbirds. Saw Eastern Chipmunk and American Red Squirrel; ran into the Snowshoe hare again coming up the hill. Waxwings were in the spruce grove, chasing down flies. Saw bees, wasps, dragonflies, and a Monarch.
Snowshoe Hare.
Mammals, birds, and insects.
