Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Voter registration drive
We had a good day to be outside at NSU but the only wildlife I saw there was a flock of Canada geese. Despite the hot sun, when I got home the water and breeze were cool. I rescued some wasps, carefully. Then I caught two frogs and put them out, and I even wore a skink for a while. Their tiny claws are sharp! I also rescued a very small grasshopper-like critter with big red eyes. It was no bigger than a grain of cooked rice but it appeared to have wings so I'm not sure if it was a nymph or what exactly. It seemed to have only one hind jumping leg, which could explain its involuntary swim. The saltbush was budding.
