Northern Cardinal.
A cold snap blew through overnight, and this morning first thing the temp was in the 30s (F). Other than crows, no birds felt like showing off at Beech Hill, but the resident male cardinal did make an appearance in my dooryard.
Just missed a distant shot of a pair of first-of-fall juncos, though.
Little baby oak trees.
