Hi everyone, I took TWO separate exercise walks on Mt Pleasant today (too antsy, I think…).
This morning around 10;30 I got my best-ever look at an American Pipit in the east, when one was bob-bob-bobbing along the middle of the road and didn't seem to want to flush, giving me great looks at its white outer tail feathers and other plumage niceties. Then this afternoon around 4:15, I was alerted by the tuk-tuk-tuk calls of a Pileated Woodpecker. When I located it, I watched it eating wild grapes until it flew.
