Best news in a while: finally some rain, over an inch and a half going by the rain gauge! #drought #pennsylvania #rain

We have SO many brown outs and power outages, it’s ridiculous. It’s not even storming here. No wind. Just like a square mile in the suburbs. About 600 houses. Frustrating and stupid. #Pennsylvania

Scarlet tanager friend in the woods this morning. My favorite neotropical migrant. This fellow leaves no doubt that spring migration is in full swing in eastern PA. Also heard oriole, great crested flycatcher, wood thrush, veery, ovenbird and the Merlin app heard more.

It's go time!
