Lots of rain this weekend has us with flood warnings on the coast. The riffles actually have a current! Water is quickly making its way back to the ocean, less than a mile from here (as the crow/egret flies.)
We got back from the grocery store to 8 (Great and Snowy) Egrets out back. Three of them you can see above. They've been coming and going all afternoon. Spotted what we think was a Willet also, but it was too far away and the rain is coming down in sheets that are blowing across the marsh. One of those amazing days.
The other day the Goldfinches ate 1/2 the food in the feeder in one afternoon!! There were tons of them. Lots of Tree Swallows taking care of the bugs too. No new sightings of the Baltimore Oriole, but I think we need to get some mealworms to entice it now.
Though summer is close, I'm in a long-sleeved tee and fleece today with the damp rain. We have chowder in the crock pot for tonight. Corn muffins will bake later. Yum.
