Bright sun, chilly, wild morning winds. The winds died down later in the day—but not before dog and I took a quick late-morning hike. Not a lot of birds up there (too windy for most species, the wind too loud to hear their voices), but invigorating just the same.
Mount Desert.
Later, in the back yard, crows visited.
