Indian Island Light.
Quick hike in mid-afternoon. Thick fog early, overcast for most of the day, but clearing just as we hiked. The sun warmed things about ten degrees, I’d guess. Tons of people on the hill—and a few birds.
American Lady.
No bird photo ops, but I got a picture of a lighthouse. And a butterfly.
