Thanks for thinking of me! We were in Las Vegas! Left day before the storm!! House still here and cellar is dry-so we were lucky-house never lost power. We did tie down the grill and put things away that could fly around. We were luckier than the people in Vermont-though up north seemed to have gotten more rain than here . No we didn't win!!! But had fun!!!

No peregrines to watch here on Sandy Island, in Lake Winnipesaukee, so I have been getting by with loons and mergansers. I love to watch and listen to the loons, especially when going to sleep at light, but the resident flock of nine Common Mergansers provides top notch entertainment several times a day. They do everything in a tight group, staying much closer together than the Mallards. They are diving ducks with serrated bills for catching fish, and are constantly disappearing below the surface and reappearing some distance away. Here they are, just hanging out on their favorite rock.

Thanks! I miss these guys. I hope they visit Smith Mountain Lake, VA! You sure had a great weather week up here Paul!!
