Tufted Titmouse.
Northern Cardinal.
Slightly warmer, slightly less windy, with everything happening slightly earlier (thanks a lot, Daylight Saving Time). Brilliant sun, no clouds to speak of. The birds seemed active out back at home, with the most notable sighting a first-of-year woodcock, which Jack and I flushed from a sunny leaf-covered edge—but not before we’d approached to within about ten or twelve feet of it.
Calling cardinal, titmouse and turkey.
Warming through the day. A big storm a-comin’ in a couple days—a foot and a half of snow possible.
Woo-hoo!
