Other than the heat, humidity and longer days, there are other ways of knowing summer is here. The appearance of the Rain Bird (Mangrove Cuckoo) and the mosquito spray plane in the sky are also good indicators! The Cuckoo was busy teaching two young ones the fine art of catching lizards and robbing nests much to the displeasure of the Loggerhead Kingbirds, who raised quite a fuss. There was also a noisy flock of parrots this morning providing background music for a wonderful two cups of coffee. The spray plane is busy larviciding the ponds to the south of us in anticipation of the first real rain in months. Yes, those are electrical wires, the neighbor's TV tower and one very frightened dove! Its in the high 80's today (30-32C) but a nice brisk breeze out of the Northeast. Children at piano and gymnastics then to a birthday party. Hopefully we will make the best of the last day of conch season tomorrow on Gary's boat in the North Sound.
