Scale Bar: Moderately Dry
Description:
I have seen worse conditions for the 3rd week of July.

Streams 1-3 feet wide, at best a trickle, some without even that.
Streams 3-5 feet wide, all below high water line, some higher than others. Depends upon the catchment area.
Streams >5 feet wide, some flow but far below high water line.
Ponds <1 ac. no visiable water but plenty of cattails.
Ponds 1-3 ac., some water but a lot of cattails.
Ponds >3 ac., 1-2 feet below high water line.

Some wild apple trees with small fruit. Some cultivated fruit trees already with small fruit. One or two fields have harvested hay. No sign of any activity on the commercial blueberry fields 

Haven't seen any red-breasted humingbirds in 2 weeks. No evidence of any visitors to their tradition feeder near a large spruce. Eastern phoebe had one small clutch in the rafters of the porch but haven't seen one in 5-7 days. Three generations of wild turkeys visit twice each day.

Maine Forest Service for the area is a MODERATE danger of wildfires.
