And from Humming-Bird to Eagle, the daily existence of every bird is a remote and bewitching mystery.

Hi Peter,
It was a nice crisp day, eventually warming up, and surprisingly birdy. We had 58 species, highlights including Hooded Warbler in the Ravine, Worm-eating on Lookout, White-eyed Vireo in the Lullwater, and a good mix of other birds hiding amidst the yellow-rumps.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
