Savannah Sparrow.
An exciting morning. You can almost feel the energy of all the combined migrating birds—or birds about to migrate. Heard the voice of a sapsucker. Watched little families of hummingbirds chase each other around the spruce grove. Spotted only my second Cape May warbler up there, too—along with a singing wood-pewee.
Eastern Towhee.
Nature, please grant me more days like this one.
