This morning was a warm one. About room temperature when dog and I started up the trail, but muggy. And by the time we returned a couple hours or so later, it felt like at least 80-something.
Quite a number of bird species nonetheless, including many juvies. Oddly, only one waxwing—perhaps in part because yesterday’s early t-shower seems to have ended the fly hatch.
Had thirty species total. And a good time was had by all.
