Today was our scheduled last day in Saulsbury. We did some initial preparations to depart with Peggy taking care of the interior stuff and me disconnecting the exterior utilities and cleaning up our outside lighting.
It was a beautiful day so we spent a good portion of it lounging under our canopy and watching the birds that are abundant here. We added another bird to our list – a gorgeous specimen we identified as a blue grosbeak. He is a spectacular guy. He visited us while we were busy checking out the geese, some red-breasted grosbeaks, a few large nuthatches, a passel of cardinals, some true blue jays, numerous tiny sparrows and some birds we spent a good portion of the day trying to identify. They look like little vireos or sparrows but they have yellow streaks. We have two good bird identification books but they must not be good enough because we just couldn’t classify these guys.
Late in the afternoon, our weather app indicated we are in for some terrible weather. Maybe we won’t be leaving tomorrow because we hate travelling in thunderstorms and it appears some are headed our way.
