Arrive at bottom edge USTF 4:20 pm. Fog quite thick. Everything [[underlined]] dead [[/underlined]] quiet. (Perhaps fog does have a depressing effect here after all?).

Fog lifting momentarily 4:33.

Fog comes in 5:00 pm. Nothing happens for a few minutes. Then Whitertart CXXVII Sings. NODWAH. Stops. Wren Sings. Stops. Same Whitestart Sings again. NODWAH. Stops. A few minutes later, fog lifts.
