Another dry week, thus, I have moved the bar to "moderately" dry. We received 0.06" of rain during the past week. Weather still on the warm side for this time of the year. Lawns are greening up and irrigation is needed. Lagoon levels are down about one foot. We have resorted to filling our bird bath twice daily. The birds are thirsty and flocking to the bird bath for water and baths. Counted 12-14 birds at times with many more flocking overhead around the water source. Pollen season started early this year, but ramped up significantly a couple of weeks ago and will last another month. Everything is a yellow mess! There have been a couple of fire hazards issued for the area because of low humidity and winds. We need some rain! CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Bluffton 6.2 WNW on 3/12/2017
