Sub-freezing early, but the sun rose over the bay into a clear sky, and there wasn’t much wind. Birds around at home—and a feeling that there’d be more on the hill.
And there were: a couple woodpecker species, a couple thrush species, a couple tits, and more. Plus—unlike yesterday—several posed for photos.
Tomorrow should be similar. I’m excited about my morning hike with dog.
