Day 16.174: Birds on Agamenticus

We had some audio identifications in the woods during our walk: red-eyed vireo, scarlet tanager and ovenbird all definitively identified by sound and one close encounter that I just couldn't manage to capture with the camera. The more successful birding happened at the summit, but rather too many of the sightings were silhouetted against a bright plain white blanket-of-clouds sky.

Not pictured: a cedar waxwing and a multitude of swallows.

Indigo bunting (several disappointing shots)

Birds with some red: a fine looking house finch in a tree, and one of a gang of scruffy-looking house finches on the ground, a robin with a meal hanging from its beak and an eastern bluebird.

Other birds: an eastern towhee, a prairie warbler, a turkey vulture and a house wren,

That sky did not do my photography any favors.
