Hi All
</div>
<div>
After supper yesterday the sky started to lighten up so I
</div>
<div>
went to stand in the river for a few hours. And a beautiful
</div>
<div>
evening it was - the clouds were delightful - lots of colors and shapes
</div>
<div>
with the blue sky poking out here and there.
</div>
<div>
But if you get cranky when the Deer Flies are about, it would be better to
</div>
<div>
sit in front of the TV. It must have been a good hatch this year - but they are all
</div>
<div>
friendly - come around and bring all their friends. Everyone trying to land on my ear!
</div>
<div>
However about 8 pm they all go home to bed. More peaceful then.
</div>
<div>
Cedar Waxwings were hawking insects all evening over the water. Three or four at a time,
</div>
<div>
hard to say how many in all but there was some nearly all evening. A few times a couple of
</div>
<div>
robins joined them - good size comparison. There was no shortage of insects for supper.
</div>
<div>
Just as I was about to leave, the moon came out and I saw three Nighthawks flying high
</div>
<div>
in the air. So high I couldn't hear their call. Looked like they were hawking insects but
</div>
<div>
its not clear why they would be so high. Nice to see nevertheless.
</div>
<div>
Earlier in the evening a flock of 8 Mallards went up river. First flock I've seen flying this
</div>
<div>
summer. This years hatch must be starting to fly. A lone Great Blue Heron flapped
</div>
<div>
down river. There is a Heron that takes the same route every evening. Sometimes going
</div>
<div>
sometimes coming to the salt water. Lots of things we don't understand!
</div>
<div>
A great evening - get out and feed the Deer Flies soon!
</div>
<div>
