Dark Skies at BHCL

I was going to walk at Waseeka today, but the skies looked so threatening in that direction that I opted instead for a "sunnier" walk at Breakneck Hill Conservation Land.

Norm was still trying to dry off from the heavy morning rain showers.

Norm, the Northern Mockingbird

Yes, this was the better looking sky!  Of course, the sun came out off and on the rest of the afternoon.

Birds seen (the usual suspects):

American Robin

Blue Jay

Dark Eyed Junco

Eastern Bluebird

Eastern Phoebe

European Starling

Great Blue Heron (flyby)

House Finch

House Sparrow

Northern Flicker

Northern Mockingbird

Song Sparrow

Tree Swallow

I also took this photo of the underside of some shelf fungus.  The tree it was on had fallen over in the woods, so I had a nice view of the intricate details of the bottom.  Isn't it neat looking?
