Last night late, when I took Jack out on last time, I spied the setting moon. Sure enough, today dawned with a clear blue sky.
Quieter than the past couple lowery days, but still a bunch of bird species. No odd or outlandish species—nor a true fallout—but singing yellowthroats, a female Black-throated Green Warbler poking about in the poplar grove, and a posing Hermit Thrush down toward the main parking lot. Fun times.
Rode my bike around later. And watched three turkeys strut across the yard out the kitchen window.
