Rainy Day in Cape Cod
Hi all,
Don't bother looking for birds in the photo above - there are none. Not much bird activity here right now. This happens... Sometimes the feeders simply go motionless in the rain. Maybe that's appropriate today...
In 1962 Tony Joe White penned "Rainy Night in Georgia" (made famous by Brook Benton in 1970). If you're not familiar with the song, it's a sad piece... A couple of lines in the lyrics read:
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
Yeah... A shooting in a German school leaves 15 dead... 10 dead in Alabama... The president just approved a bill containing $7 billion of pork by all accounts from all sides... Oh goody...
What else?
Well, on a less depressing note I was looking out the window the other night and two white birds flashed by. As the first bird passed I questioned my sight, but the second one seemed to confirm the first. They were really just blurs, but impressive none the less. My best guess is that they were Snowy Owls...
Time to sign off... Nothing to do now but make chowder.
See you by the feeders,
