Rained out

Mallard Anas platyrhynchos

Fumbled and swore with the rain-proof gear




AKA Rain day AKA Rain-nihilation redux

June 5, NDG

-I rolled out of bed early and when I saw that there was a steady, heavy rain outside, I should have slept in. But I didn’t! But…I should have.

-10 species, somehow, in less than an hour

-Only birds singing were the REVIs

-Heard a Yellow Warbler outside of my place a couple of hours later (only warbler on the day), as the rain ebbed and the sun sliced up the grey. It’s been hanging around for a week or two - perhaps singing for a mate that will never arrive? (Wipes tear from eye)
