AvesInArt January Challenge, Day 4

A gray day, with rain and fog. I was in Killingly, Connecticut, counting birds on a local Christmas Bird Count - and finding very few, but the highlight was certainly a male Eastern Bluebird. With his back turned toward me, his color was eye-popping in an otherwise drab landscape.

Jorge's bird of the day came from another foggy, gray location. This Red-tailed Hawk was hunting in a cattail marsh on Horsebarn Hill on the campus of the University of Connecticut, Storrs.
