Happy Independence Day!!!

Movin' on

So, let me just say...it's raining again. However, it's been nice all week. The rain has actually cooled the temperature down. 'Nough said.

Added 2 more birds to my Pennsylvania list, an Indigo Bunting and a Red-Tailed Hawk. Both were found on the back farm roads not far from our campground. No lifers though.

We leave Elysburg on Wednesday. We'll be headed to Hawley and the in-laws for the holiday weekend. It was hard to find someplace to stay. We'll be in the driveway if you're looking for us. After that, we will be spending the next month at an RV park in East Stroudsburg. I'm going to have to start looking in that direction for a job.

Speaking of jobs...I still can't find one. I had applied to Cherokee Pharmaceuticals more than a month ago, had a grueling 3 hour interview, and haven't heard anything for the past month. I'll take that as a "thank you very much, but no thank you." There really isn't anything here in this area for me. I'd have to compromise my knowledge and experience to get a job here. So, I'll try the Poconos and the Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton area of the state. Hopefully I can find something soon. I really want a HOME. I'm getting tired of the rv. It was OK when we were traveling, but we're not traveling anymore. If I can't find a job, then we'll have to rent something. We need to get our stuff out of Alaska before it snows and the roads become impassable for the truck and trailer. And then I wonder why I have high blood pressure and indigestion.....

Damn "enter" key is sticking on my computer. It is throwing off my typing.

Enough whining for another day. I have a few pictures of the dogs and stuff. I'll try to get them posted today or tomorrow.

Bye for now.

May your next bird be a lifer!

Rain

Rain. Rain. Rain. I hate this part of the country.

Lifer!

Yesterday, Bill and I went to Hawk Mountain . They had an Arts Auto Tour around the area. We took a hike to the North Lookout to see what we could find and besides the 3 Turkey Vultures, I found a lifer! A Black-throated Blue Warbler! What a beautiful bird. I also saw a Black and White Warbler and a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher. 3 birds added to the PA list, 1 to the life list. On my way to 400!!! May your next bird be a lifer!

Damn Squirrels!

I put up 2 bird feeders to see what is around the campground. Damn Squirrels!

Yes, it's hanging upside down enjoying the sunflower seeds.

Belted Kingfisher flew down the creek yesterday. Another PA bird. Just need to find some lifers. Feeling rather sassy because I know all the birds around here.

Rain rain go away!

It's rained all week. It's cloudy and humid during the day and then rains like crazy at night. We've even had a thunderstorm or two. The poor dogs haven't been able to get to Grandma's house to play in the yard all week. We're going to need to build an ark soon. It's just plain dreary.

Added an American Kestral to my Pennsylvania bird list. It was sitting on a fence post looking like it would like the rain to stop too. And we added another goose family to the pond.

May your next bird be a lifer!

And may it not be raining when you find it.
