Savannah Sparrow.
Walked up a hill today. So did my dog. It was the middle of the day. The day was sunny. The sky blue and cloud-studded. Other people were walking up the hill, too. And three other dogs.
Cottony sky.
I counted bird species. I counted nine. Since I brought my camera with me, I took a photo of the cottony sky.
I also took a photo of a sparrow.
