dendrite

How old is she? The beak looks like NBD to me. The little spot on the comb looks minor too. Her comb and wattles are vibrant so she looks okay to me. I have some molting already so it's possible she's starting to hormonally shift into the molt phase and stopping egg production. But if she's your only one left then yeah, she's probably pretty lonely unless she was a loner to begin with. How do you know one had a tumor? Necropsy? A lot (not all) of my egg laying/reproductive issues diminished after switching to soy free feed. I do corn free now as well and supplement with a lot of mealworms, sunflower chips, and sardines, but yeah...$$$.

OK some will be happy to know I replaced the faulty temp/hum sensor. I have my old high response Sensirion SHT-75 in there until a new Davis one arrives. This has a lot less thermal mass than the Davis so it responds quickly to temperature changes...probably similar to ASOS except ASOS averages its official readings over a 5 minute period to smooth the data out.

Who cares. It's a spider. Embrace them.

Rattlesnake Island on Winni has a ton of those types of nuts/hulls. I haven’t been up there since the late 90s so I don’t know the species, but they were hickory. My friend called them pignuts, but they may have been shagbark or shellbark too.

Maybe we can get Scoot’s data online someday. I think even Kev got his online quicker.

Dews are the least of my concern. I’ll put an old sensor in once we come down off the daily high.

80.2

I need some closeups of the chestnut leaves.

But yeah…dew sensor has been acting up for days. Time for a new one. Temp is fine.

lol…didn’t even notice. Don’t care.

At least you’ll be warmer in winter

78°

74.7 to my 77.3

Looked better earlier with Kp near 7 and Bz decently south. At least it’s clear. Maybe NNE can see something.

Looks like a common wolf spider.

Imagine being a heat weenie in New England and you’re 72.9° while the rest of the region is this:

Glad we didn’t have those chilly low 70s today.

How do you even have a cloud. lol

Another morning under guidance. 46°

Depends where you’re going…it can be a big difference between the Kanc and SE NH.

Hopefully we get a light event in October so we can cancel the rest of 24-25.

Are you calling 140” of snow here?

43.9° here

How is Mark Morgarbage’s record weak arctic PV going?
