My father said the lake/pond they are on in North Woodstock CT is the highest it’s been in a very long time. Almost up to the bottom of the docks. Kids can usually swim under the docks with 18” of clearance lol. No Stein there in NE CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it that day where he got called out for declaring a high of 66° a summer day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always says he hates watering the lawn but he loved Stein like a father. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 It’s actually been sort of dry since Memorial Day, but the almost 4” of rain that weekend saved us. Been just enough here and there to get top soil wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yards looking like dust bowls, wells going dry, families packing up and moving south no surprise. Every time local mets say it's going to rain or shwr, I jokingly tell my wife "yeah right". Supposed to get some chances tomorrow too, but I'm sure they'll fizzle and/or miss too. 0.14" for the month so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 With all these new bird feeders around the house I am figuring out they are great indicators of rain. Man they eat like crazy before and during rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a lot more different birds now and none of the mess. You pay a little more, but it's not really that much more since a lot of the weight of shelled ones is waste.

We put out suet and seed-encrusted blocks - no mess but the blue jays probably eat 90% of it, with woodpeckers, chickadees, various finches and the first red-breasted grosbeak I've ever seen sharing the rest.

The little birds spill some here and there and the doves/chippies/squirrels gobble it up. Sometimes the white throated sparrows, cardinals, and blue jays are down there too. The nuthatches are usually on my suet...we lost a red breasted one the other day from a window hit. I saved a wood thrush though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
