A lovely, cool, overcast morning. A bit of sun peeped through occasionally, but it was cool enough that Captain Jack and I went ahead and hiked the Millcreek Ridge loop again. Great hike.

Bunch of birds, too. I saw few—what with nesting and fledglings and the need for secrecy—but heard many.

Felt good for the rest of the day.
