 Chestnut-sided Warbler. Noisy young Black-throated Green Warblers begging for food from busy parents high in a pine tree. Song Sparrows drawing a hiker and his dog along the trail and away from the young ’uns. Savannah Sparrows, their bills full of insects, chipping out notes of alarm from the topknots of shrubbery. Chestnut-sided Warbler fledglings hollering from trailside undergrowth. Juvenile bluebirds perched in small trailside trees.
 Young Eastern Bluebird. It’s a frantic world of birds on the 44th parallel just now—because in a few short weeks, they all head south for the winter.

 Eastern Wood-pewee (with insect). Worked a lot. Rode my bike. Ran some errands. Hiked Beech Hill with dog at the end of it. Counted quite a few birds—including a very vocal Eastern Wood-pewee near the parking lot.
It was a busy, beautiful day.

 House Sparrow. Very busy, at my desk all day—blyech. Jack just napped, though, until I finally tore myself loose. On our way out to the pickup, I got a photo of a female House Sparrow on my deck rail.
 Red-tailed Hawk. Beech Hill was actually kind of lovely by the time we got there: not hot, very windy, somewhat hazy, birds about. I tallied twenty species despite the bad listening conditions (the rush of wind-whipped foliage blocking out distant calls), including a little outbreak of Chestnut-sided Warblers, which must’ve just fledged their young ’uns. Also spotted the female redstart again and one of her fledglings. (I wonder if she just has the one.) Confirmed that the little guy can flutter from branch to branch and tree to tree. Redstarts sure are a fluttery kind of bird.
Waxwings and their young in flight. A solitary adult Red-tailed Hawk above. Four sparrow species. Four warblers in all. A cowbird to top things off.
Oh, and also: I found a blueberry. No, I mean a blue one. On the first of July.
Global warming, man.
