 Savannah Sparrow (juvie). Another cool, bright morning. Got to the hill early and encountered a shitload of birds. Many (most) with youngsters, of course—saw a few fledglings, including a bright, fresh Savannah Sparrow on one of the Beech Nut walls. Listed my first White-throated Sparrow in quite a while. Heard another Red-breasted Nuthatch.
 Eastern Bluebird. This summer, seemingly more Wood Lilies, bluebirds, and Barn Swallows than I can remember. Monarchs the past couple days.
I love Friday the Thirteenth.

 Monarch laying eggs on the underside of milkweed leaves. Fun morning on the hill. Lovely weather, ran into friends, spied a wayward Scarlet Tanager, discovered two pairs of bluebirds are taking over nearby swallow boxes—they had a four-way scuffle, even—and watched more than one female Monarch laying eggs in assorted milkweed patches.
 Scarlet Tanager (male). Thanks, Nature, for milkweed.

 Great Blue Heron. A beautiful morning, a day much cooler than yesterday. Nearly cloudless, with a flushed woodcock, Great Blue Heron flyover, and more Barn Swallows teaching their fledglings to hunt flies.
Jack and I had nice visits with dogs and humans at the summit also.
A beautiful July morning.
