Eastern Towhee.
Had a nip in the air this morning. Temps in the 40s (F)—a bit chilly for June—and rain on the way. Jack and I headed for the hill in plenty of time enough to miss getting wet. Got a couple bird photos even.
Tufted Titmouse.
Most nesters have settled in by now, and most non-nesters have moved through. But that still leaves ample birds—they’re just quieter than usual, is all.
Later, the rains came, light but steady. The earth appreciates it.
Every now and then, I like a nice, lowery day.
