Observers:
Visitors:
Still stinkbugs ... I thought the rain might discourage them.
Weather:
Rain, Fog, No wind, 70degF
Raptor Observations:
None ... unless Crows count.
Non-raptor Observations:
Highway repair crew invades with all their equipment ... but of course
they cannot work in the rain. They are guaranteed 40 hours for the week if
they show up.
Predictions:
Rain is predicted, with maybe a breather on Wednesday. The road crew
expects to be around for the next month.
