Another chilly, breezy day—in fact, a lot breezier than yesterday. A little new snow, not much. Aside from a couple hikers (and dogs) at the trailhead, Captain Jack and I were pretty much alone up there.
Alone except for very few bird species, quite a few deer, and—again—five ravens. I heard a croak, looked up, and quickly counted five. Same five as yesterday? Dunno, but only one kept in sight enough for me to grab a (not great) photo.
Had a snow squall this evening. Supposed to get cold tonight. We shall see.
