Warm today for a change. And by “warm,” I mean low 20s (F). Not a lot of wind, either. Met a few other hikers on the hill, had several birds on my list, got no great photos, though, so…
…later in the day, we swung by the harbor to watch the ice get soft. And also the ducks. Lots of ducks.
Then, back home, the neighborhood turkeys were poking about near Route 1.
