We started the bird walk in heavy fog that dripped from trees and made all
the spider webs glisten. It was an enjoyable morning to be out, and by the
end of the walk the sun was shining.
Although we didn't try walking Hunter's Lane this morning, our trails are
drying out and the south end trails should be easier going, with only
scattered muddy patches. Ebony, South Mexican Olive and Kiskadee Trails
are never muddy!
