>I saw quite a few bumblebees as well today while mowing. I have a
leaf-cutter bee building a nest inside a large bag of peat moss which is
sitting near my woodpile.  It's great to see, close to my fruit trees.  I
also flushed a brood of ruffed grouse in my backyard today...at least
seven half-grown chicks.
