Cedar Waxwing.
It’s such an interesting time of year. The hills are thick with tangles and berry brambles, the light is harsh and angular. The wind rises swiftly from the west—and has a bit of a bite to it.
Inland Hills.
For the first time in a while, I have more species on my “Elsewhere” list than my “Beech Hill” one. Just so much wind up there.
Nice bike ride. Nice hike with Jack.
Still three days left in August.
