Finally got back over to the land today...at least three weeks, what with the Panama trip. Another gray day, but at least there was some water in the pond and a pair of mallards who clearly weren't used to humans as they flew away before I could bring up the camera. I thought they might remember me from last season.
The osprey nest seemed to have a few new sticks poking up at random angles, but no birds. While I was over there, I only saw the vultures trying to dry out their feathers in the non-existent sun.
I still have about 30 pounds of seed to spread, and it is sort of a crap shoot with this weather. We had a forecast of 3" of rain and really got only traces. Where is that pesky El Nino when we need him?
I will put out the seed anyway in January...raking, mowing and sowing and hope for the best. All of the fall seeds are doing pretty well, except for the California poppies and some of the grasses. But time will tell...as we gardeners like to say.
