 Turkey Vulture. What a lovely late-spring morning. Warm (60s (F)), breezy, fragrant. Many birds, but quiet and hidden, other than a couple overflyers. Got chipped at by the Savannah Sparrows again.
 Daisy. Nothing really posed for me today, though—well, other than a daisy.

 Northern Flicker. Warm, breezy, sunny, fragrant, with just a little trace of humidity. Birds are a little quiet these days—skulking about, singing maybe half as loud—on account of nestlings and fledglings. The grass is green, the tree leaves are green, not a hint of decay, so fresh.
 Captain Jack. Captain Jack and I enjoy the days around the summer solstice. Ah, June, June.
