As soon as I got out of the truck with Jack this morning, I heard the voice of a Brown Creeper in the trees above us. Didn’t take long to spot it, poking about in the trunks and branches. Nice start to a nice hike.
All sun, few clouds. Quite cold, little wind. Half a dozen birds on the hill—and a couple more elsewhere.
