A Fine Morning

Gray Catbird, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 28 July 2023.
Gray Catbird.

Another warm, humid one. Brought plenty of water for Jack, but still his harsh panting worried me a bit after a while. He was fine, I was fine—and the bird species we encountered seemed fine, too.

Still pretty quiet, what with this year’s immature bird crop learning the ropes. More species than yesterday, though, and a decent portrait of a catbird.

(Supposed to rain tomorrow—but not until after our hiking hour.)

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
