Spring Has Arrived

As I write this I am sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. It’s a little breezy, but otherwise its a beautiful spring day. I took a short hike and heard a turkey gobble rounding up his hens while I was in the woods. Here is a picture of the leaves all torn up from them scratching looking for grubs and other goodies they like to eat.

The groundhogs are coming out of their holes looking for some grub as the hawks ride the thermals scanning the ground below for a tasty critter or two.

The pond is nice and clear with all of the fresh spring water flowing into it the last month or so. Here are a couple of pictures I took of it today.

I guess the bass and bluegill are still hibernating down deep, but after a few more sunny days like this you won’t be able to walk by the pond without seeing at least ten of them swimming by.

Lastly here are some spring pictures of various birds at the feeder. Make sure you click on the first one to see it larger then it is here… quite a lucky shot, and these little guys will disappear until next winter.
