 Field Sparrow. A smattering of rain this warmish morning—a morning of sparrows. Towhee and song and field and Savannah. A pair of fledgling chippies at home. On the hill, a Field Sparrow even posed for a photo. They’re usually shy, those ones.
 Chipping Sparrow (fledgling). Warm tonight, with fireflies. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

 Savannah Sparrow. This morning, dog and I got hollered at by a pair of Savannah Sparrows. By “holler,” I mean pelted with a series of tiny darts in the form of quick, sharp chip notes. It was anything but annoying, though, since a) it was the first time I’ve clearly seen Savannah Sparrows on the hill in a couple weeks, and b) it signaled that they’ve got an occupied nest nearby.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Savannah Sparrows?

 Snowshoe Hare, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 16 June 2018. Saw the hare again this morning. Pretty sure it’s the same animal—it appeared alongside the trail in the same place I’ve seen one twice before (once in white winter plumage). Jack and I stood there for a good five minutes or so watching it nibble the greenery before loping off into the thicket.
Otherwise, lots of semi-silent birds, a warm sun, and no one else up there but me and dog.
