A cold, white, bright-sun Sunday. About midday, I took two dogs with me to Beech Hill, where we encountered a few other humans, a few other dogs, and an impressive array of local birds. Crow and flicker calling, and a number of species flitting about in the trees near the parking lot, taking advantage of the warmth of the sun. Without it, it sure wasn’t very warm.
