Rained overnight and into this morning. Waited until 9 to hit the hill. Plenty foggy once we got there, dog and I.

The hike was good nevertheless. Quite a few species listed (mostly just heard)—including an American Redstart brightly singing in a cloud of fog.

Heard a Savannah Sparrow, too. Kind of made my day.
