Chilly Morn

Mourning Dove, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 28 May 2018.

Mourning Dove.

Had way more bird species on my list this morning than I figured I would. ’Cause it was in the 40s (F) when first dog and I hit the hill. And misty. Breezy. But this is spring, after all. Plus, I hear tomorrow might make it into the 80s.

In fact, I enjoy a chilly morn.

Singer

Sunday, May 27th, 2018
Scarlet Tanager, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 27 May 2018.

Scarlet Tanager.

May and June in the woods of Maine means the voices of Scarlet Tanagers. I heard a couple or three today, got a good lock at one (male), and generally celebrated the species in my heart.

Tip: memorize the voice of the Scarlet Tanager, then scan the canopy for the singer.
