Great Blue Heron.
A beautiful morning, a day much cooler than yesterday. Nearly cloudless, with a flushed woodcock, Great Blue Heron flyover, and more Barn Swallows teaching their fledglings to hunt flies.
Jack and I had nice visits with dogs and humans at the summit also.
A beautiful July morning.
