Raven in fog.
Up early and checked the weather and saw a mess of rain bearing down and so took off right away with Jack. We were the only ones at Beech Hill for the hour and a half we were up there—the only human and dog, I should say—because there were a bunch of birds moving around, and a squirrel or chipmunk or two.
Ovenbird.
Within fifteen minutes of our return the rain began, and we had a good soaking for much of this cool green day.
