After the planes, trains and automobiles component of getting here was done, we set about to get things in order. A modification to the fuse box energized the whole house and allowed for lights and some space heaters to improve the environment for human habituation, and...since a real electrician isn't available until later next week (to get us back to a full 220 at the box) we had to make some creative modifications to the basic utilities.

Hot water again!

After a whole day spent cleaning up the endless mess, I set off for my reward. I was inspired by a visitor first...

I was thinking, why fight it, just bring in a backhoe and make your fishing hole bigger. And, I almost thought there was a bird on the wire off the end of your barrels, lol. You always have great, just being there pictures, thanks for taking the time.

A small update, after several trails walked and a conversation with the folks in charge of the forest, it seems like the bird numbers are down this year. A cool and wet spring seems to have limited hatching success for this summer's crop of birds. What few birds I am seeing are all fully mature (except for the one that's haunting the house). Another variable: last year this part of the world was in an extensive drought. This year had significant rainfall and even flooding in the region, so the woods seem lush, green, and very full of berries and other foodstuffs. Not sure how that is affecting things, but I'm not seeing birds in the usual places. Another difference...last year we had raptors everywhere, and every version was well-represented (red-tail, sharp-shinned, goshawk, etc.). You'd drive down a road and flush a hawk every few feet. The evidence of their feeding was also everywhere, with many piles of feathers on each trail I walked. No sign (or very little) of either the hawks or the feathers this year. With things still so green and full, it's hard to get a solid feel for things, but I should have had several encounters with birds so-far and yet...there's still nothing in the freezer.
