 Chestnut-sided Warbler fledgling. Wet and cool for most of today, but it cleared up late this afternoon—just in time for my hike with Jack. Fledglings were about, and their alarmist parents. In particular, I got good looks at a little Chestnut-sided Warbler and a young bluebird.
 Juvenile Eastern Bluebird. No bobwhite today for a change.

 Scarlet Tanager. Woke up, got out of bed, made sure Jack-my-dog got fed—and about five minutes later, we climbed out of the truck at the Beech Hill trailhead to the sound of a singing Scarlet Tanager. Singing very nearby. Only took a second to spot it up there, singing. The bird was between us and the the early sun, so he was backlit.
Hiked all over the hill and ran into just one other human—but plenty of bird activity this sunny, breezy, cool morning.
Then, coming back down through the woods, I heard—then saw—another singing tanager.
Or I suppose it could’ve been the same one.

 Maple key. Sunny and coolish, with a few clouds moving through late. I spent a good while in my desk chair—too long (I’ve got a hankering for a stand-up desk)—but then took off on my bicycle. A good, luscious ride. Heard many birds, saw a few.
On my return I spotted a dried-up maple key on the landing of the stairs out back. They’re amazing things.
 Captain Jack I also took a picture of Jack.
