Fog and sparrow

Spruce.

Drizzly, misty day. Temps rising up toward 40 (F). Oddly, I saw no birds at all today—and I only heard three species. Lots of fog around, though, so it kind of figures.

The coolest “sighting” was the high, thin note of a tree sparrow at Beech Hill when Jack and I hiked there late in the day. Those little guys have been everywhere lately, it seems.

Nobody else on the hill but us today.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
