We remain standing

Air temperature 58 F, wind northwest about 5 mph, overcast. Squalls blew through last night, wind and rain and lightning, but no personal damage yet found. Will attempt survey later.

Thursday migratory report

Goose flock at the golf course up to 40 individuals, approx. I have no way of knowing if I was seeing all of them, a hundred yards away while I biked past. Also, getting thrush-type birds passing through, veery and wood thrush seen for sure. We've seen a few monarch butterflies heading out on their epic trek.

Roadkill limited to a red squirrel, a couple of gray squirrels, and some bloody patches of asphalt.

More leaves turning, still red maples and ash trees, and the poison ivy does a beautiful scarlet.

Rode upriver and across and through the bog, cool but not really windy. Did not die.

Internet ads seem to think I need a Porsche. Possibly in red. I can't say that they are wrong.
