Nat'l Weather Service gave out a warning for the Quonset area and the bay. Said it was going to get bad.

Most of Pascoag RI lost power about an hour ago. Just came back online. Wicked lightning.

No boat, back in the suds.

usually

lightening storms are a sign of spring

had a cowbird here last week

these birds also only arrive in spring

because they don't build their own nests

they lay their eggs in other birds nest

and let other birds raise them

Tornado outbreak in the mid-west too. Definitely a spring weather pattern.

We had some lightning in w.wareham I got right out there under the powerlines with an 11' pole hoping for a jolt , it saves on the copay @ the Shock Therapy treatments I get and also gas in the P/U truck.
I've also noticed Cow birds & Redwing Blackbirds under the feeder too.
