Over the last couple of weeks, our summer visitors, the starlings have changed behaviour. Mating/nesting/hatching activities have ended. And most evenings a couple of dozen starlings show up on our ledges for what appears to be a social gathering. It would appear that they are sizing up potential travelling companions for this fall’s migration.
I continue to be way too busy with my volunteer job. Just when I think I am going to be getting back to a lazy 3 mornings a week routine, something else pops up. I have just about battered our new software system into shape – but a massive upgrade is scheduled for next week. My fall migration can not come soon enough!
My summer “vacation” – how does one have “vacation” when one is retired? My vacation was cancelled due to Carlton’s medical issues. I am having a fantasy about hopping a plane maybe in early October to maybe Iceland to try to catch some northern lights. “They” say this fall “might” be awesome.
