Evening Serenade

I don't know what kind of bird, or if it's birds, but every night there is a LOUD squawking chorus of animals right when I'm trying to sleep. No, it's not cicadas... I know what cicadas sound like.

Robins, Version 2.0

The robin's nest from last year was so old and unoccupied, I took it down and threw it away. It was June and I figured we wouldn't get a nesting at the house like we did last year. To my surprise, there's a birds nest sitting in the other corner, under the deck. Yet another robin's nest with 4 newly hatched babies. I'm rooting for all 4 to fly out on their own. I'll try to get a picture.

Trip to Ohiopyle


I went rafting on the Upper Yough in early June. It was quite the bumpy ride and I don't recommend it for anyone who's never been whitewater rafting. It was a great day to raft. Sunny skies and warm temperatures ruled the day. Water temperature was awesome, near 60 degrees and river flow was excellent. I hope to try the Gauley in West Virginia next.
