It rained here 1 inch on Saturday morning, then 2.9 inches Sunday afternoon.
More is expected late today. Our early tobacco plants are supposed to be ready
to transplant today. I've invented a new weather homily for the occasion - A
Solitary Sandpiper in your tobacco patch is a sign that ground is too wet to
work. My new homily probably won't catch on, since 99% of farmers around here
don't know one bird from another. But to me it's kind of an unusual thing to
find a Solitary Sandpiper hunting on ground I expect to soon plant in tobacco.
Not a favorable sign. I posted 1 pic of this Solitary Sandpiper on the KOS
Flickr site. Link is below body of all posts.
I'm beginning to think my semi-permanent resident Ring-necked Duck can fly
but just doesn't like to. Lately he's switched several times from the middle
field to the back field pond - a long way for him to walk through tall grass.
His occasional buddies recently have included a female Blue-winged Teal, 2 male
and 2 female Mallards and a Coot.
