We have an area that borders the woods just outside the fence in this photo that's our milkweed area. Similar to what @mreavesposted.
This year we planted Mexican Sunflowers in the box adjacent to that area and we've been flush with polinators including monarchs, bees, hummingbirds and something I didn't know existed: hummingbird moths (second photo).
I highly recommend these sunflowers for any pollinator garden.
I wonder if the increase is pandemic-related. More inexperienced people taking to outdoor activities - thinking specifically things like kayaking and paddleboarding.
For sure. I am not undermining the awfulness of the tragedy... People have to use common sense. Being in a car, sitting still, under 40ft white pines during a storm, no matter how severe, is not a good idea. Maybe they couldn't go anywhere else.
If you light off fireworks in a residential neighborhood (while there are public displays within 2 miles in any and all directions) you are a tw*t of the highest order.
Or a veteran. F*ck.
Thanks. The one Eaves posted was around $175 which is about what I'm looking to spend. My primary use case is temps, as well as rain when I'm out of town. Wind is a bonus for the few events we get a year. NWS hooked me up with the snow gear for PWM obs, covered there.
Thanks for the rec!
Is there somewhere on this forum that has info about the various home weather stations that I can read up on? I have a stratus, mostly interested in temp and wind data. If not, what would you recommend?
