Savannah Sparrow.
Cool day, sunny day. Finished desk work in late afternoon, at which point I headed out to do errands and hike Beech Hill with dog. A lot of birds being secretive and/or on the move—you know, fledglings at all.
Appreciated a Savannah Sparrow on a stone in the barren with an insect in it’s bill
