Somewhat Annoying…

…were several jobs on today’s to-do list.

Re-installing the repaired Windrider floor required lots of bending, leaning, reaching, straining and twisting, along with a little swearing. Re-glassing the keel on the little dinghy proved to be awkward, messy, and—with all the bugs,—somewhat akin to giving blood. But, both jobs got done.

The bird list (land birds only), as of now, is as follows:
Hairy woodpecker
Pileated woodpecker
Sandhill crane
Raven
Crow
Jay
Blackbird
Ovenbird
Great crested flycatcher
Northern parula
Northern flicker
Robin
Winter wren
Nuthatch

Lots of little warbler type birds way up on the tree tops, but since the binos were forgotten, the ID remains uncertain (unless Merlin helps). The little wren is something else—LOUD, long, convoluted song, delivered tirelessly.
