Savannah Sparrow (juvie).
Another cool, bright morning. Got to the hill early and encountered a shitload of birds. Many (most) with youngsters, of course—saw a few fledglings, including a bright, fresh Savannah Sparrow on one of the Beech Nut walls. Listed my first White-throated Sparrow in quite a while. Heard another Red-breasted Nuthatch.
Eastern Bluebird.
This summer, seemingly more Wood Lilies, bluebirds, and Barn Swallows than I can remember. Monarchs the past couple days.
I love Friday the Thirteenth.
