I had hoped to trek over to the park today, but the weather had other ideas, it has been pouring since the wee hours of the morning…
We did venture out for a short, wet walk….here is our boat launch area – if you’ve followed this blog for a few years you’ll know that the white pole there is a high water marker. The last real ‘flood’ year was 1997 when the water came to almost the top of that pole…in both 2007 and 2009 it came very close to that mark….we’ll see what this year brings.
Definitely creeping up…
this might be the last time that we’ll be able to see back across the grasslands towards the park – unless, of course, we are in the canoe!
and there is looking towards Morris Valley Road. The spot where I stood to take the picture posted yesterday is now under 4 or 5 inches of water! Not a lot in the way of birds around today, I think they are all hiding from the rain. There was a pair of Geese that flew by and some Red-wing Blackbirds in the bushes and the Robins were singing what my late mother used to call their ‘rain song’ – but that was about it. I should mention that the Brown Headed Cowbirds have been back the last few days…keep forgetting about them.
