Pleasantness

Black-capped Chickadee, East Millcreek, Salt Lake City, Utah, 29 November 2021.
Black-capped Chickadee.

Another fine hike with dog this morning. Cloudless again, chilly in the shade, but pleasant in the sun. Again a birder’s dozen.

A little smog collecting in the basin, but clean breathing up the deer trails.

Most fun was the last bird on my list: a Yellow-rumped Warbler. First I heard its chip, then I spotted it as it left its perch—alas, too far away for a photo.
