Today’s birding highlight happened on the way to the hill, when an immature Bald Eagle appeared not far above Route 1, accompanied by a few crows and a gull. I pulled over and grabbed a photo or two.

At the hill I heard a variety of species, the most interesting being the call of Pine Grosbeak.

What a lovely day.
