5th September 2010

Hurricane Earl was not much more than a 4 hour rain shower in this area.  The Main Southwest Miramichi has risen about 30 cm (12 inches) current water temperature 66.3F (19.1C) that plus the cool nights, shorter and cooler days plus projected rain this week should see a further drop in the water temperature which in turn may spark a bit of fish movement.

For our bird watching friends:  We had a "Bittern" standing on the shore this morning, the first one I have seen this year.  Our Blue heron is still here, the normal herd of Merganzers, ("herd" because it's made up of several flocks) was replaced by a large flock of Mallard ducks yesterday and groups of Canada geese are getting together.  We still have humming birds at the flowers.
