The turn to Dr. Mudd's house, where JW Booth sought refuge after murdering President Lincoln.

We call it "the three bears' house."

Let me check your blood pressure, Mom!

What did you say? Tell me you didn't say that!

Sycamore Dawn.

Night and Day.

American Goldfinch, female. That's Mrs. Goldfinch to you.

Blue Jay.

Blue Jay flies away.

The Eastern Red-Shouldered Hawk loudly announced his arrival, then wondered why all the little birds suddenly disappeared. Or perhaps not.

Eastern Red-Shouldered Hawk, right out of the field guide.

Squirrels live in trees too, ya know.

So little! Is this an American Goldfinch (female) or a Yellow House Finch? Family authorities differ. What say you?

Northern Mockingbird.

Northern Mockingbird, cold.

American Goldfinches, females. Didn't see any males. The seeds they are going for are tiny, like grains of sand.

Loving my field guide, which identifies this as a 2nd Year Bald Eagle.

Adult Bald Eagle.

Clash of the titans. The adult (at right with white tail feathers, gave the youngster a not-so-gentle bump in mid-flight.

They circled each other aggressively for a while, then they were joined by a second adult, then all flew out of sight.
