The herring have arrived in Mud Bay, according to an anonymous post in a local on-line want ad page. But, here on the shore of Lynn Canal, just off Mud Bay, we’re still waiting. And, when I say “we,” I mean everyone!

Around the homestead, we don’t so much bird watch as bird listen. At least at first.
We host a lot of birds on our property, more so in the spring and summer. We love the company, as one sees reflected in our blog posts about them, such as Birdsongs 101: a Class that Bears Repeating and Songbird Central to name two.
Right now, we’re noticing new arrivals, and the absence of some we usually hear and/or see this time of year.
