Critter Report August 16, 2007
      Thu Aug 16 2007 10:42 AM

On my way home from work yesterday it was still daylight and the waterbirds we do not usually see feeding had come in land. from the Gulf I suppose. I had not noticed any other activity until yesterday. The great thing about this obsservation is that I did not have access to computer yesterday and I was able to know that there was a significant change in the weather report. The four legged critters are starting chow down, act restless, and if young enough, a little more hyperactive. I have not been in touch with nature enough to see if the undomesticated animals are doing any unusual behavior, except the birds. I then noticed that in my drive home, I did not see one single mocking bird, Jay bird, or scavenger bird. This morning when I walked my dog at dawn, the cicadas were not singing to each other and the air was still and very very moist. I have felt more air circulating in a sauna before. Last night my domestic birds were screeching, fluttering and carrying on. I had turned the lights off to get them to quiet down. They noticed and continued their noise. Now I see that Erin appears to have made land fall in Texas. I also see where they updated Dean to a Hurricane. Will be making further observations as my house is half painted and needs the other coat before Dean gets near enough to wash my one coat of paint off.
