Big rain last night. Big rain today. But still Jack and I hiked Beech Hill.

Didn’t expect to see many birds in a nor’easter’s wind and rain—but I did. Bunch of sparrows flitting in the trailside shrubbery, juncos tittering, and another posing thrush. Also a little party of crows down the soggy, wind-blown slope.

At the moment, tonight, it isn’t raining so much, but the wind out there is howling.
