Savannah sparrow.

A day after not that many birds showed up, a lot did. Not all in person, but I heard ’em. Including such mildly exotic species like red-bellied woodpecker, bluebird, and a loon in flight. You can just tell what’s going on out there—chicks are hatching, fledglings are trying their wings, parents are getting nervous. Savannah sparrows are singing again, and I got hollered at by a few ovenbirds down the lower wooded trail.

Ovenbird.

And such a lovely evening tonight.
