Hi all,
Again sorry for the delay. On earlier post about me
being ill and heat stroke. I was sent to the medical
office yesterday from work for treatment. I also had
two tick bites on my left rib and is healing well.
Today at work, instead of deliveries, I'm stuck on
computer work until I have the energy. The ticks I
had might came from the main pond near the farm
buildings at Mason-Dixon farm.
It had to be the worst weekend for me. Never had
that many problems in one weekend.
Few birds in each species at Hughes Hollow due to
heat problem. Might have a large rail way back of the
impoundment look like a King Rail as its show heavy
streaking on underparts. It was hiding among the
spatterdock (spelling??).
