Chestnut-sided Warbler (juvie).

A cool and sunny morning. Still quiet, bird-wise, so it took some gazing in the canopy to spy the little birds along the lower wooded trail. Notable in the open fields were a pair of Broad-winged Hawks and a vulture.

Returning in the upper woods, I got a look at a couple warblers along the trail. Even got a photo of one, a juvie Chestnut-sided Warbler. It was looking right at me.

The highlight of this foggy morning hike, bird-wise, were the several appearances of the resident Song Sparrows—including one who popped right up and sang to dog and me.
