Nippy Thanksgiving morning—in the 20s (F). The voices of geese preceded my spotting a long string of ’em headed south. Also spotted my first American Tree Sparrow of the year. Got a good look at a flock of larks. And I heard the voice of an owl.
It was so still and quiet on Beech Hill today.
So quiet and still.
