It's been around 70 F/20 C here for awhile in the daytime and getting cooler at night. I've heard crickets, other buzzing insects, a lone tree frog late at night. The usual chickadees, finches, bluejays, robins. Early this morning I heard a loon flying overhead, giving its territorial call, not at all the mystical call but more "loony".

Haven't yet heard the gees, but I see them gathering on the bog, telling each other of hte sunny south.

And I start back at school tomorrow!
