Not much to say

It's a Wednesday, after all.

Forecast still calls for rain on bird counting day this Saturday. They've backed down on the "thunderstorms likely" part and changed it to "thunderstorms possible."

Saw two yellow-rumped warblers out by the horse barn this morning. Gary says the barn swallows are back too, but I haven't seen one yet. And I'm pretty sure a wild turkey crossed the road some distance ahead of me this morning on my way to work. I've seen them before on that stretch of road, but it was far enough away that I couldn't be absolutely sure.

We could use some rain over here. It's been so dry that the moors and forests are burning. Normally that might be expected in August, but not late April and early May.

Central southern US is also unusually dry, while central northern is soggy. This has been a repeating pattern for several years now, with floods along the Mississippi and fields so wet that farmers can't plant on time.

Of course in the anti-scientific minds of most Americans, it means nothing and there is no change happening.
