Hermit Thrush.
I call ’em “big birds”—hawks and vultures and gulls and ravens and other large species that I see in the sky overhead. This morning’s fun hike with an old pal, for me and Jack, was a long but fun one. And it included several big birds.
Peregrine Falcon , Turkey Vulture , Bald Eagles (three!), Red-shouldered Hawk , Osprey … The day began a bit foggy, cleared up, got warm and clear, and glowed with fall color. During tomorrow’s cloudiness, I’ll remember.
(Here’s a photo of a small bird: a lovely Hermit Thrush .)
