Busy ol’ day getting ready for Monhegan, where I head tomorrow morning. Got out in late morning for a hike with Jack—windy up there, sunny to begin with, but overcast by the time we headed back down. Took some photos, but I’ll have to add one of those here later. (Edit, 21 Sept.: added.)
Will certainly take a bunch out on the island this coming week, birds being on the move. Stay tuned.
