Another sunny, warm morning. Humid, but not as humid. Not a lot of bird vocalization—although little ones were announcing their presence with tiny, begging chips and whines.
Among species that’ve gone quiet: Veery, American Redstart, a couple of woodpecker species. Titmice were perhaps the most active species today, along with others with youngsters, like towhees and catbirds. And toward the end of my hike with dog, we came upon a group of three or four little Chestnut-sided Warbler fledglings.
The sunny, warm weather’s supposed to continue. Tomorrow will be different somehow, just wait…
