A grey squirrel from yesterday in the same area I see red and black squirrels. Todays drift was slow. It seems every day gets slower, been that was all year.
A lot of breeding birds have left. Most Orioles, Warblers, Woodpeckers etc., are gone. Yesterday I heard Pileated woodpeckers all over, today now. Today I heard Cuckoo birds all over. I am hearing these birds, but not seeing many.
I don’t know where they go, north or south, but they go. The rest of the birds are in so deep I can’t see them. The hawks I saw yesterday are gone. All the eagles fledged.
Heron all the sudden showed up, must be a dozen in the area now. Its parents bringing their young to new feeding grounds after the young can fly good enough.
We slipped into summer mode now. Next the grass and brushes will stop growing and start turning brown. The river is rising, but not much and its pretty clear.
Hardly any insects and that is why birds are not along the river so much. Kingfishers are also missing, I saw one. I saw 2 deer but they are spooky.
