Same time, same trail, different result. More of a breeze at Beech Hill when Jack and I arrived today, but somehow we got trapped between two groups of hikers, and between that and the breeze—perhaps also the time of year—we saw not a single bird. Heard several gangs of chickadees, heard the tseet! of a white-throated sparrow, heard to scolding catbirds. Oddly, though, not a single wood-pewee.
So here’s a photo of the bay.
