2.75 inches of rain later our yard bird have all survived, they have all been 
washed, fed and put out to pasture?  Lake Pauline came up about 18inches 
today, but through it all we had an amazing amount of birds in the yard, 26 
species found in the pouring rain. Also I posted photos from Herricks cove last
