Sandy River at 190 cfs, 25th percentile 310, record low 131 so it's probably about 10th percentile. 22 years ago the flow was 22,900. Odd question - anyone else having an abnormally high number of bird strikes on their windows? It's probably 5X the usual this month, a lot on the north side of the house where we're still putting out suet for the woodpeckers (and the hogging blue jays) but also on east and south sides. Haven't had any that failed to fly away, yet. Expand we were getting a lot last year, including some humming birds that hang close to the window. We ended up making some picture frame-like bird screens and suction cupped them to the window. So far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
