I thought this might be a bluebird day—above freezing, sun and clouds—and it was. Also, I’ve been fascinated this winter by all the Yellow-rumped Warblers hanging out with bluebirds on the hill. The former were eating bayberries this morning, the latter (apparently) blueberries.

And chickadees were singing their sweet spring song.
