Day 17.227: Birds at Agamenticus

In stark contrast with our last two visits, our hike yesterday was not great in terms of bird sightings. I was able to point out the sounds of eastern wood pewee and red-eyed vireo to E5N1 as we walked in the woods. The only actual sightings were of a few chipping sparrows and a group of turkey vultures. The latter showed a behavior I didn’t recall having seen before - holding their wings out horizontally to their sides like a cormorant.

apparently it was likely some kind of heat-regulation activity.
