Sitka Nature

It seems like it has been drier than normal all year, but this October has really been atypical. Certainly there have been some hard rains, but there have also been many clear sunny days. So far there has been just over 3 inches of rain this month. The average rainfall for October is over 13 inches, so we are well below average.

As we were walking on Saturday, we saw a fairly large flock of geese fly overhead. Later that night I heard more. Sunday evening we saw three geese feeding on a lawn near McDonalds. It was too dark to tell for sure, but I think they were Canadian geese.
