home from volunteering, finally cooled down enough that I don't feel like I'm going to immediately melt.

today had ups and downs. ups: saw a pileated woodpecker on the way to the bus stop & got a picture; while cleaning the aviary ward I got to see a red-breasted sapsucker try to escape, and a barred owl being vigorously annoyed at humanity; watched bobcat kittens being cute for a while; did satisfying work and did not die of heat stroke.

other ups: caught an illicit glimpse of a baby seal; saw the juvenile Cooper's hawks again this morning, and they evidently have a couple at PAWS also, because I heard the whistling and went "I know *exactly* what that is!" XD
