Haha KTOL1k reporting 1.35” so far. Stein is in scuba gear there.

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.

Maybe that’s why he left the board? Or was it that day where he got called out for declaring a high of 66° a summer day?

:lol: Not much to complain or hype about right now.  Always says he hates watering the lawn but he loved Stein like a father.

rain fail here. 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

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.

2 baby woodpeckers are just slamming the suet along with finches, wrens, orioles, bluebirds, cat birds, blackbirds,cardinals, blackbirds and a f in squirrel.  Interesting morning of activity. I made suet out of ground cherries and cuties oranges. Man what a hit

I ditched the shelled BOSS for just sunflower hearts and will never go back. 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.

Will try in the one feeder that is messy. But what I noticed is the doves and nut hatches love to ground pick under the messy one.

We’d be in pretty rough shape without that deluge on Memorial Day weeken. Dry before, and dry after 

Without that 0.96" deluge, we'd have had only 0.33" in the past 38 days.  Even with it, 1.29" (0.06" this month) is pitiful, especially in garden establishment season.

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 mourning doves still ground feed under the hearts for me. 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.
