Eastern Bluebird.
A gladdening morning. Barely above freezing, breezy, but sunny as all get-out, and with way more bird species than I expected. Of interest were a vocal flock of Eastern Bluebirds, a Cooper’s Hawk in flight, a Red-breasted Nuthatch chowing down on spruce cones, and a passel of Yellow-rumped Warblers.
Yellow-rumped Warbler.
