Hiked a chill hill this morning—much nippier than yesterday. Nearly cloudless and bright. The few apparent bird species included a flyby raven and a busy little Downy Woodpecker
Later in the day Jack and I headed for the harbor, just for fun. There I saw a bunch of Buffleheads and a Cooper’s Hawk—maybe the same hawk I saw there a few days ago. Will check again.
Hill and harbor. Starting to be a trend.
