Beech Hill List
Beginning at 8:15 a.m., I hiked the open trail.
Big winds today. Chilly northwest winds, not very conducive to migration. But birds were about. Most noteworthy, to me, was the pair of ravens doing the sort of aerial courtship dance they do when the wind is high like it was this morning.
Exciting time of year.
