A jetlagged post-breakfast wander around in the woods here in a bleak and cold Western Massachusetts after arriving here at the family homestead late last night. It ain't Israel (which is where we're supposed to be, but which, again, got cancelled - insert various not-smiling emojis here), but it ain't Britain either, and for that, I'm grateful - it's been a long time since I made it out of my native Brexitland.
Black-capped Chickadee
And most importantly, we're finally with the Am Fam, for the first time in more than two years; very grateful for that. There'll be very few opportunities for birding (and it's a crap time of year anyway here), so expect substandard shots of common stuff that I'll post purely to prove to myself that there is birdlife beyond the British Isles. Amen to that.
