Rain birds

Blue Jay, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 13 September 2015.

Blue Jay.

On this mostly rainy Sunday, I got a lot of desk work done, then hiked a foggy hill with my dog. The trees were drippy, and little birds were flitting around all over the place. Spotted three warbler species (Black-and-white, Northern Parula, and Chestnut-sided).

Also, after weeks of wearing shorts and sandals, I ended up in jeans and a sweatshirt today. Not sure it ever got to sixty (F).

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
