Very dim skies early, about 30 degrees (F). Within an hour or so, the temperature rose and it began to drizzle. After another hour or so, the clouds grew too heavy—and we had a steady light rain for pretty much the rest of the day.

Also winds. Pretty stout winds, too. Southeasterly winds. Jack and I hiked the muddy hill late info. No other humans or dogs were crazy enough to venture up there, and I only encountered one bird species (chickadee).

Only three birds on the day—a chilly, watery day.
