Common Yellowthroat (female).
Heck of a busy day today—desk work for most of it—but it ended with a nice Beech Hill hike with Jack. Various nesting birds were about, feeding their kiddos. Got a nice photo of a lovely female Common Yellowthroat. Heard a singing Veery (unusually for the time of year).
Tonight the moon is really big and bright. “Supermoon,” they’re calling it. I just call it “Moon.’
