Wife and I were out for our evening neighborhood stroll, and had a "what's that?" moment on the ambient birds.  Second and third look set the scale, immature bald eagle chased by a crow.  We'd been seeing crows chased by grackles, black and black, and had the range down wrong.

We see mature eagles now and then, even right here in town.  Immature eagles are a Good Thing.

Rigged up the window air-conditioner today, after seeing forecasts of 90F next week.  Now we shall set record lows.
