As is so often the case on the North Coast of Oregon in late-June and early-July, it is raining. Not one of those thorough rains that you can hear on the roof, that comes in a winter storm or a summer thundershower. No, just a thick drizzle that cuts the visibility down to a couple hundred meters, that creeps under your rain gear, that collects on your optics no matter how well protected.
It makes for an inside day, no matter how much the extra daylength of the summer solstice screams at you to go out.
Dave Bailey reports a possible Sand-verbina Moth (Copablepharon fuscum ) out at the Necanicum yesterday. Probably never officially recorded in Oregon. The first of the south bound shorebirds are on the move.
But the rain will probably keeping me indoors aside from a trip to the store to buy the fixings for a birthday cake and maybe a gallon of milk.
We're gonna have a good time....
