Air temperature 59 F, wind north about 5 mph, fog and drizzle. Visibility 1.5 miles at the airport, so you might be able to see that moose ambling across the runway. Maybe a bike ride after the roads dry off?

Maine Public Classical has the Blue Danube playing. Both Wife and I are wondering when we'll get the Space Wheel.

Birdly oddity

We've had a steady stream of chickadee raids on the thistle seed feeder all morning. Usually more of a sporadic hit-and-run and then a gap. Theory is, some other folks in the neighborhood are tardy in refilling their feeders.

Wednesday goose report

Several dozen geese scattered among the tombstones out at the cemetery, no accurate count because gray geese and gray stones. They moved between my outbound and inbound passes, and may have split up because I didn't see as many goose-ish lumps the second time.

Roadkill limited to a red squirrel and *maybe* a second young mink out in the bog. This one was in the road rather than on the shoulder, and looked fresher than the first one would be by now.

Japanese knotweed blooming, yet another aggressive alien. Almost impossible to eliminate once it get established.

Not raining, not windy, not excessively hot. Got out on the bike, up to the country club and across to the road through the bog, thence home. Did not die.
