YUCK! THE FISH FLIES ARE BACK.

I saw some tell tale signs of them in the last couple of days, so we knew they were coming, but this morning we awoke to a full bloom of fish flies.  


I opened the door this morning and there they were.  All over everything. 



Each of these adults that we see everywhere, will last about 24 hours(some species females only last 5 minutes).  But the full flush can last up to a week.  And as quickly as they came, they will be gone.  


Meanwhile the gulls are having a feeding frenzie.  


But of course the gulls can create their own set of problems.  When they get startled and take off enmasse. 


Just one more of the joys of living with mother nature. 




BUT THIS TOO WILL PASS.
