We had dense fog this morning, so I went for a late morning hike in here in Old Trail. It was warm, but the dew point of 71 made it feel very uncomfortable. I ended up with only 15 avian species.

I saw a bird fly into the brush, and at first only saw its head and breast. It looked weird to me, but it turned out to be a juvenile Cardinal molting into its adult plumage.
