Critter Report August 16, 2007

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.
