Amazing warmth today. Warm enough early, but 85 degrees (F) in the afternoon. Record-breaking, doubtless.

Meanwhile, birds were scarce at the hill this morning—or perhaps keeping cool in the shade. I did spot a quick, quiet bird flitting through the undergrowth. No chip! of a Yellow-rumped Warbler. A thrush, I thought.

Occasionally I get it right.
