Visitors:
It was an all mutt day. Not even the slightest hint of a pure bred passed
through our domain. The disappearance of our beloved abandoned Volvo has
left the lot as companionless as the last cloud of an expiring storm whose
thunder is its only knell.
Weather:
Sunny, warm, pleasant.
Raptor Observations:
Non-raptor Observations:
12 Purple Finches, several Monarchs
Predictions:
Vacant lot. What else?
