Cloudless

Thursday, April 7th, 2022
Spotted Towhee, East Millcreek, Salt Lake City, Utah, 07 April 2022.
Spotted Towhee.

A morning much like yesterday’s, except entirely cloudless and a little bit warmer. Dry trails. And spring still wafting in the air.

No surprising migrants yet, but more kinglets, and another Steller’s Jay (voice only). A cottontail. Several deer still. Singers: towhees, kinglets, house finches, chickadees. Surprised a wild dove up in the foothills.

Tomorrow’s supposed to hit the 70s (F). Kinda looking forward to it.
