We waited for a break in the rain. The wind did not abate. Heard a chickadee on the hill and caught sight of one Yellow-rumped Warbler. Spotted a sparrow that I couldn’t identify—which flitted away down the blueberry barren. Spied a swift, skittish thrush.
Elsewhere, I saw three crows, one herring gull, a small a flock of turkeys, and a large flock of starlings.
Still wet out there this evening.
