I live N or Bird, but heat index here is nearly 100 degrees and no rain yet. My coastal and garden is just setting there hoping that it will rain this afternoon.

Since this is the Bird topic. My little Kildee has been setting on 4 eggs right in the middle of a gravel road, and one of them hatched out the other day. Now this is in an area with 2 100 pound dogs that chase down and catch birds regularly, yet the Kildees act like they have a broken wing and yell at the dogs and get them away from their eggs! The rest should be hatching this weekend. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Yep, I looked at the radar once today and thought it was going to start raining any minute, but I went ahead working in the garden and, sure enough, it went south of us again. We didn't get a drop. And Wen, yesterday I dug the last of the potatoes with the double buster on the tractor, and when I went to pick them up, found that I had plowed up a nest of 5 baby cottontails. We're overstocked on Mockingbirds around here, and they sure are tough on the plum crop. I wouldn't mind so much if they'd just eat what plums they want, but they peck one hole in a plum, then go to another one. And a couple of days ago, some of the young ones were just learning to fly and our Fox Terrier thought he'd catch one of them, but one of the parents pecking on his rump changed his mind in a hurry./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
