I took my first real bird walk here in Stoney Creek since the wind storm on June 29. The air is unsettled and quite muggy (80% humidity), but with the temperatures down 20 degrees to about 80, it feels a lot cooler here. There still is a lot of tree damage that can be seen, and certainly some of the wildlife nests were destroyed. There are a lot of common birds out and about looking for food and building new nests, and we have honey bees building a nest in a tree near to the deck of our house. Alice wants to get rid of the bees, but I am hoping for a bear to go looking for their honey so I can get some close-up photos! :-)
