Northern Flicker, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 20 July 2023.
Northern Flicker.

The sun rose this morning, unobscured by fog. And the heat rose slowly, and birds were active—adults and youngsters alike. Fewer species than on recent cloudy days, but more photo ops.

Notable: a singing black-throated blue; a posing black-throated green; a posing flicker; three vultures; the first Broad-winged Hawk in a while.

Feels like true summer around here finally.
