In on the ice , out on the shore!

Yes, Spring is around the corner.:wave:

Male bluebird on back of house and female on front checking out the accommodations this morning. Time to cleanout your boxes as they are searching right now.

more birdies. Buds on early flowering plants are starting to swell and show some color and sure sign as I was able to prime some plugs outdoors today as I have a little micro climate up against the house.

The crocus have been blooming the last 4 days

but only in the form of droppings
from the woodpecker hanging baskets

they rarely get on feeders

they are thought of ....as only bug eaters
not true

here's an older pic of one
at the base of the metal feeder stand

I think its spring. we'll still get sme cold and possibly snowey days but we are on the downside now. Once all the snow melts , the sunlite is absorbed as heat instead of reflected. To me , that';s when spring happens.

screw Ground HOGS

when chipmunks appear

spring is here :walk:

ya'll seen any?

i'm a hankerin for SOME chipmunk stew :jump1:

You don't eat chipmunks!! They talk and sing!! I've seen it on TV and at the movies. :)

Alvin is the first one into the stew pot :kewl:

and i'll attach his skin to a plug for the canal :p

Been one active in my stone wall near house all winter. On warm days he has come out and sits there eating stored acorns and pissing off my cat.

they love to piss off cats

they enjoy the thrill of the chase

like nothing else

I believe that. Mine are not up yet and may have been eaten by some dang gum varmint

go to the herb store and buy bulk cayenne pepper

because you have to add more sprinkles of it

after each rain storm....

once they get HOT mouth

they will leave it alone....

The critters are starting to come out.My tiny front yard looked like it was hit with an aerator.Birds maybe digging for worms ?Grubs ? This was Sunday the last time I was able to stop and look @ it.

flocks of starlings will dig up all the lawn grubs
as soon as the soil is thawed out
and it's better than using pesticides

Yeah and the skunks doing the same will make it look like its been rototilled. :(

definitely skunk season

use moth balls to

chase them away

I hope they feast on it.The less lawn to cut the better for me.I pay for water so obviously I'm not watering the damn lawn.

On a side note.Yesterday while road testing a tractor down the highway I got to a ramp and I slowed way down.There was this big hawk gliding in the ditch to my right .He landed in a tree in close view to me and gave me the nod.So I think spring is here.Saltheart has it right with the heat absorption theory meaning it's on it's way.I couldn't have explained it better myself.I am sick of the white stuff.

when i heard the Robin Sing.....

something about there song has
always defined spring
for me anyways...

when i was just a little kid
it told me to go fishing
down to the Charles river
more than anything else

so happy now to hear it. :happy:

as the day comes to an end and you can hear the robins up high in the trees is a welcome sound to me too

There is a half dozen dandilions blooming in my front yard

Time to make wine!

On Sunday, the peepers were out making a racket. At first I thought it was wild turkeys, but then realized that the sound was coming from the little pond in the woods next to my house. Soon enough, I'll be scooping frogs and their eggs off of my pool cover. I like all the other little creatures around my house, except for the frogs. I'd love to find a way to get rid of them once and for all.

that's easy

ducks gobble them up like candy

everywhere i went

all i could smell was dead skunks on the road


i saw at least 8 of them :shocked: in several towns

that's easy

ducks gobble them up like candy

You got any ducks you want to send my way? Unfortunately, the coyotes got the ones that used to reside down the street from me.

I saw bright yellow crocus' popping the heads out Sunday.
That did it for me.
I am ready to hit the sand even if it is just walking and cleaning up the beach.:jump:

SUGAR for the hummingbird feeders :)

Hummingbirds are at my feeders by May 10th.

1 week ago Saturday I heard a couple of Spring peepers but tonight,Man there every where.
Bring it on:kewl:
