Environment:Start Time: 8:20 AM Temperature: 55 degrees Sky: Sunshine, clouds and intermittent breeze. Check out last year’s walk on this day! Slightly less sunshine and way fewer birds than yesterday but still a very pleasant outing this morning. I heard but did not see Blue Jays so I know they are still around.

Environment:Start Time: 2:10 PM Temperature: 48 degrees Sky: Sunny, no clouds, no breeze The day started in a shroud of fog and a good layer of frost.
