Had a couple decent-sized rain showers pass by this morning about the time we’d usually hit the trail, so dog and I waited a few hours. Didn’t hit the wet trail until late morning. No rain, but a thick fog.
Amazingly, I got a few bird photos. Oddly, no crows. Luckily, a couple of redstarts appeared in a flock of small birds following a gang of chickadees.
All in all, a lovely soupy day.
