The Snow Bunting was still hanging out at the summit of Beech Hill when dog and I hiked up there this morning. It’s a non-breeding male that perhaps lost track of his clan. But maybe not, what do I know?
Quite windy, very bright but with clouds flying by. Thirteen species, and the feel of true spring, and the promise of more first-of-year species to come.
Tomorrow’s supposed to be similar, but less windy. Lookin’ forward to it.
