Possibly Ardea cinerea
Sunbathing on road, very feisty, bit Nick
Open forest upland dominated by sugar maples and other hardwoods.
A flock of Black-capped Chickadees were foraging in the sun right near a road.
The Brown Creeper was scurrying up a tree in a shaded part of the forest.
I think I saw 2 Red-tailed Hawks flying/soaring above me. It looked like they were scanning the area for potential prey.
