As is usual this time of year, our week-long low-to-no rain chances last Sunday changed by the end of the day, and boy, am I glad we didn’t release anything banking on those original forecasts! Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, we had massive, sideways-raining, house-shaking, blinding-lightning thunderstorms that knocked the power out from 12:30AM to 8AM. We ended up with about 2-2.5 inches of rain.
So of course, the antsy red tail gal is still “antsying” in the flight, inciting similar behavior in the younger juvie and exasperating the nonreleasable to no end. The nonreleasable made her vet visit last week to get the certification we needed for Elachee to begin their paperwork to acquire her as an ed bird.
