This morning's walk in the cemetery was accompanied by a multitude of birdsongs. It was a perfect opportunity to use Cornell's Merlin App. that identifies birds by their song. L. helped me download this app recently. These are the birds that I was hearing; house wren, american goldfinch, chipping sparrow, common yellowthroat and one springer spaniel 😁. Without the app I would not have been able to identify individual birds from the plethora of sounds. Knowing who I was hearing made a nice walk even more pleasant. The cemetery is bordered by mature spruce trees which provide good habitat for birds.
Once again we were gifted by rain. While my town gauge showed .7" the other town gauge recorded an inch and that was quite general in the area. That's a multi-million dollar rain in mid-July. As the corn tassels and sets ears the moisture, along with cooler temperatures, is of significant benefit.
