Got up, ate an egg, grabbed Jack, headed for Beech Hill. We got there right at 9.

Quite a few birds around—also people and dogs, out for an early Easter hike. We headed over the summit and down into the woods and walked all trails today. Flushed three Ruffed Grouse, spotted a gray ghost, worked up a sweat. The only bummer happened later, when for some reason about half my GoPro footage got deleted for some reason.

Oh, well.
