Some "Spring" in my steps


Lots of goings- on in the swamp; critters are getting busy. Trees are budding, with a few early ones popping out. It's still early; cold in the mornings, but afternoon was very pleasant... shirtsleeve temperatures and sunny. Turtles were lined up on logs in the pond, a pair of geese feeding on the bank. I think the geese were visitors from a nearby lake. Lots of little birds were active in the trees and thickets; hawks were keening, egrets feeding. Owls are nesting, I guess... there were at least sthree pairs of barred owls hooting back and forth. Bunnies and squirrels were hopping around. Overall, a pleasant commune with nature.
