Yellow-rumped Warbler, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 02 November 2018.

I tried to time this morning’s hike to miss any big rain. It worked, more or less. Jack and I mostly walked through mist and drippy trees, with only a couple of stretches of steady light rain. Better still, we ran into more birds than I expected—including a little flight of kinglets and a solitary Savannah Sparrow. Oh, yeah, and yell0w-rumps are still around.

Rained more steadily later. And more rain coming tomorrow.
