Gray and drippy and foggy and warm. A lot of desk work, and at the end of the day a brisk hike with Jack on a lonesome, darkling hill. Several bird species up there, though I only saw one: a pair of American Tree Swallows flitting nervously about in the trailside bushes.

So dark it was I took a few flash photos just to have something decent to post here. Still thinking about the tree sparrows, though.
