 Horned Grebe (winter plumage). No bird photos from Beech Hill this spring-like day, so then Jack and I took walked the Rockland Breakwater. Grebes, ducks, loons. Robins and cardinals at home. If it weren’t for the big snowstorm we’re supposed to get in a day or two, I’d think last night’s switch to Daylight Saving Time (stupid!) was not technically “winter forward.”
 Long-tailed Duck (male, winter plumage). Beech Hill List
Beginning at 9:30 a.m. (DST), I hiked the open trail.
