I have been on hummingbird duty the last couple of days. They go through about 3 refills a day so I have to make up a batch of sugar water every morning to keep the three feeders from going dry. I tried to get a good picture of them but this is the most I could get. There are about 6 in this picture. I have seen 8-10 at one time so there must be a bunch of them out there. I braved the rain for a bit today to go cut off all the old lilac blooms. I will try to get the rhody's done tomorrow. I was in Olympia for the last part of the week at a training for writing WADOT BAs. A BA (biological assessment) is written whenever a federally funded or sponsored activity is planned to address the actions of the project on threatened and endangered species. They had a very hard test at the end of it to qualify for writing these assessment and I am not sure if I passed or not. I went with my new manager and he is positive he didn't pass. So we may be having some more study sessions before the next testing session in a couple of months. I also have a new project at work to go down and help with wetland delineation in the La Grande area and then do some GIS work for that. I also have another wetland delineation to assist with for a new waterpipe project in Washougal that is going to be built across the Washougal River. I am feeling a little happier with the new possibilities arising in my job.
I am sick of this rain. Isn't it supposed to be summer soon?

I think it would be very fun if you passed and your manager didn't, don't you?
I am also getting sick of the rain. I go to Outdoor School on Tuesday--Thursday & they are predicting a little break in the rain. I sure hope so.
Wow! What a lovely bunch of hummingbirds. Today the sun is shinning and I hope it keeps it up for awhile as I too am tired of the rain. Marion leaves tomorrow and I will be lonely but it has been a really nice visit.
