Well, there&#039;s at least one plus to ground-nesting, Marty. The chicks don&#039;t have far to fall from the nest... :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Whew on the slow snowmelt!  Ours has been fairly slow as well. I always wonder how the ground nesting adaptation got past “Reasearch and Development,” let alone the “Quality Control Division.”  <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

Chris, it&#039;s been the coolest spring and summer I can remember around here. The lower temperatures have even slowed down the development of my garden, hail or no hail.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Your “slow spring warm-up” … around here that looks to mean a VERY slow summer warm-up, too. How I envy you those blue skies! And the lovely birds, of course. I don’t know about toasted marshmallows, but the nesting stilt reminds me of a guy at a wedding reception, tired after all the dancing, who’s loosened his bow tie and is now relaxing with drink in hand. I can’t explain my brain, sometimes. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f937-1f3fc-200d-2640-fe0f.png" alt="🤷🏼‍♀️" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Since your posting of avocets in early May, I&#039;ve been trying to think what they remind me of.  Now, thanks to Marcia Stager&#039;s buddy Robert, I know - toasted marshmallows!  
These sitting birds are studies in patience - peaceful waiting.  Looking at them is very restorative.  The shadow of the avocet&#039;s bill curving down her neck is beautiful!  Lovely, lovely, thank you!]]></description>

&quot;Not a word about birds.&quot;

Folks have their priorities I guess, Lyle. Actually, there&#039;s been a fair number of recent local articles and TV news stories about the positive effect the rising lake is having on birds. Something I see firsthand.]]></description>
