Early to rise, busy morning. Jack and I took our Beech Hill break at midday.

And what a lovely midday it was. Things had started chilly (like, in-the-40s (F) chilly), but a bright sun had warmed things. Few birds about—in fact, I laid eyes on only two species.

I did see a tiny, handsome American Copper butterfly.
