A later hike with dog this morning. Foggier than yesterday. But surprisingly birdy, nonetheless.
Highlights were a couple of hummingbird sightings (first-of-year birds), as well as the hoots from the bottomlands of a Barred Owl (also first of year, I guess you could say).
Still several species that haven’t showed up yet. Anticipation.
