Chestnut-sided Warbler.
Was supposed to rain today, which might be why I ended up sleeping later than I have in a long time. However, beyond a tiny bit of drizzle early, it didn’t rain at all. So dog and I had our usual hike—if a bit later than usual.
Warmish (60s (F)), a bit breezy, and with a good number of species—including a second-of-year booming partridge (a.k.a., Ruffed Grouse).
Thundershowers were possible, even—but nope. And tomorrow’s supposed to be sunny and mild. Works for me.
