Rainy days and Thursdays

Mount Murray in the murk

Osprey Pandion haliaetus with American Crow Corvus brachyrhynchos

  Cooler today. I got rainihilated by a steady Forrest Gump rain from 9-10 a.m.  Some Blue-headed Vireos were new in, as were Red-breasted Nuthatches, which were scattered around, seemingly squabbling over territories. Bumped into George L and finished off the birding session with him. Nothing overly nutty out there today.
