What’s Up?…
Smart “Cookies”
The heavy stormy weather from States west of Georgia added to the jet stream coming from Florida are carrying a great amount of humidity to our State. We are in Summer now usually know for being hot but blessed with a gentle and soothing breeze…With the added humidity it feels so uncomfortable and sticky. Conditions that are not so inviting to be outdoors.
It makes a big difference to me because I care for my plants, lawns, shrubs etc. I have to be very efficient and cautious of not getting dehydrated. The humid heat drains your energy very quickly. Fortunately, the flow of birds coming and going continues normally at different time patterns which I learned make a lot of sense. I’m following the bird’s unintended “suggestions” (Actually I do what they do) and it works pretty good. Here is how: There are moments when large high clouds block the sun and there’s a cooler breeze that drops the temperature just a few degrees but it makes a difference…then the birds come out, for as long as the cloud moves on and the sun break out again. Cloud gone birds gone, H.J. gone! All the tricks I learn from the avian friends.

I do a similar thing, HJ. When it gets so hot here that the birds aren’t moving, I stop moving too. Great photos and post. Beautiful male house finch with fledgling.
It takes a bit of logic and common sense. The difference from us and the birds is: We have other alternatives. Thanks my friend. 🙂
Q: If you were to be a bird what bird would you be?
I have associated with eagles in past years, and I have many favorite birds. But I sat for a moment with your question just now, and the answer for today is nuthatch. A fun thing to think about, thanks HJ!
Beautiful birds. Love the Chipping Sparrow. Good luck with the heat and humidity. Here too it’s so nice when a cloud passes over and brings a breeze with it!
Thank you Lisa. It’s still extra humid and hot. I love it when is hot but not humid. 🙂
Sorry about your weather, glad the birds are giving you good advice!
Yes! They are happy with me because they have me well trained! Things are reversing slowly but steadily.
Wait a second…. 🙂
A lovely set of pictures. Humidity is no fun.
It’s never fun under those conditions. Thanks Tom. 🙂
I am sorry you have such hot and humid weather, HJ! Beautiful shots 🙂
We just have to take like brave people… indoors, AC on!
Thank you Clare! 🙂
