We had a light rain with us all morning, but I wasn't sure if sweating in my raincoat was any better than just getting rained on. The birds are transitioning into late summer mode with many species done with nesting. We saw ducks in eclipse plumage; they are apparently getting ready for the solar eclipse also

Bird of the Day
Eastern Kingbird

Tyrannus tyrannus

We had at least two recently fledged groups of Eastern Kingbirds still begging and chasing their parents around hoping to get fed. Kingbirds are in the genus Tyrannus signifying that they are a bit tyrannical in nature. Well, if the parents are tyrants, then their young have to be fascists because they are relentless. It was fun to be part of that scene today.
