Today starts Week Six working back on-site in the office, after over 54 months of working from home during the worst of COVID. Here’s my view, with a couple of trees turning red for the fall.
Today there was a murder of crows squawking around and making a racket outside, as well as a new bird hopping around in those bushes, and I thought I recognized the type even though I only remember seeing one in our yard (about five miles away) once. It finally sat still long enough for me to get a picture and the Merlin app (get it!) confirmed the ID:
About the size of one of the Juncos, similar body shape, but solid black on top and white on the bottom, it’s a Black Phoebe!
There are also hummingbirds that go zipping by, always fun to watch.
