Goldenrod.

Started out cool and foggy, but the weather cleared by midday, and I took a nice, long, sweaty bike ride. Did some errands while I was at it—and, at the end of the day, I bought a used pickup. A 2001 Toyota Tacoma. Nothing fancy, but it should be dependable, and it drives good, and I like it fine.

Not a whole heck of a lot of bird variety, but plenty of activity. I figure the coolish August weather must be causing stirrings in the brains of birds, like voices at the edge of hearing, mumurings of the fluttery urge to migrate.
