It was warm, muggy, and cloudy with almost no wind when I arrived at the trail. A front was moving in that should bring rain for most of the next couple of days. As I hiked the trail, I could see fog rolling in from the Blue Ridge Mountains, and in less than an hour on the trail, the fog arrived, bringing a light drizzle with it. I was able to log 20 species in about 50 minutes on the abbreviated hike.
