We haven’t gotten any new species since the Muskegon trip last weekend. Molly is doing Volleyball on Tuesday and Thursday nights and I am teaching Wednesday nights. This puts a bit of a crimp in our ability to take off and chase things. This weekend doesn’t look too promising either. Tomorrow we are supposed to have temperatures in the teens and four inches of snow. I’m not sure who ordered that weather but I want to have a few words with them.
Saturday I have an all day board meeting with Michigan Nature Association. Sunday Lise is tied up with church things in the morning and leaves for a project near Chicago in the afternoon. It looks like the best we can do this weekend is get in a an hour or so chasing local possibilities like snow buntings. Everything else I see on the listserves is at least an hour from here, maybe two.
Next weekend will likely be our next opportunity to do anything substantial. In the meantime, I guess we just plug away at the little chores around the house or the things I need to get done for my class, so that when we do have a chunk of time we can make it productive.
