Bald Eagle (juvenile).
Seasonal temps and humid this morning. Bit of a breeze. Bit of an interesting collection of birds, too—including a hovering hummingbird (no photo, alas), a juvenile eagle (or two), and a bad-singing Nashville warbler.
Turkeys crossing the road.
On the way home from the hill, I had to stop to let some turkeys cross the road. Word has it, of course, that Ben Franklin preferred the Wild Turkey as our national bird.
