It's been warm and we had quite a line of thunderstorms come though the night of July 2. We had wind, rain, hail, lightning, with some local gusts up to 70 mph.
Multiple trees or large pieces of trees down near us. I counted 7 in the nearby woods and pond trail. Many power outages over the holiday.
Here is a large part of a tree that just missed our building at work!
Here is more in the woods by my driveway

Some nice sights over the weekend, plus I was able to get some yard and garden work done.
The favorite was a Cardinal family, with the young cardinal following the parents around a begging for seed.
I also saw a Hummingbird. I assume a Ruby throated, it was hard to tell in the low late afternoon light

It's been a busy past week or so. We took a vacation to Aruba and I got to see some tropical birds. The little Banaaquits were my favorite. They are tame, small sugar loving yellow and black sparrow type birds.

They also have Grackles called Carib Grackle and a Tropical Mockingbird, both very similar to ours

After we got home, there was a deceased whale washed up near Providence. Mind you we are about 40 miles from the ocean, but Narragansett Bay links the ocean to us.

Friday sights
Friday, April 18th, 2025 04:38 pmWe woke up to a loud drumming Red bellied Woodpecker this morning.
I also saw some Dark eyed Junco and a couple of Wood Ducks in a stream along a muddy trail.
