This afternoon's exercise walk put me in the expected avian company, with a few "specials" added in: a brown creeper, working its industrious way up a tree on the riverside path; 5 shovelers feeding at the shoreline on the north side of the big lake, giving nice looks at their plumage in the waning sunlight; and a fox sparrow, who paused on the hillside of the big lake to engage in a stare-down from over his shoulder, before yielding to my greater admiration.
