Rained overnight but stopped before Jack and I headed up to the hill. Still very foggy, though—really socked in—so I didn’t have any notions of spotting a bunch of spring birds.
However, there were many, and I even managed a photo or two.
Singing cardinal, junco, chickadee, titmouse, robin, dove, sparrow. Most notable—especially considering the thick fog that blanketed our whole hike—was the fact that I listed eighteen species.
Looking forward to what tomorrow morning might bring.
