I thought Jack and I were going to have the whole hill to ourselves today, but at the very end of our hike, we ran into a couple of people and a little dog. I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised at the lack of human activity, even for Labor Day—it was a pretty steamy one. The birds were scarce, but I managed to count a dozen. Got no bird photos, though.
