Peg's Neighbors: Drought Summer

Peg made these observations on her ranch in Morris County (second week in August):


Last week we rode pastures checking cattle & water….One large mud hole surrounded by brush has always had water in it but not now!...Sam (Border Collie) ran to get a drink and all he found was mud!...wet mud but still mud...When he ran into the brush a large covey of quail flew up!...I am made to think they also were looking for a drink!...poor things!....
 
This morning as we crossed a bridge over a dry creek I saw something I have never seen!...a flock of Indigo Buntings!! (6-8)   I have never seen more than one or maybe two at a time!....The wild life are looking for water just like we are!!.....
