On my way home from work today, I crossed my local river and there were about a dozen guys fishing one of the popular spring spots.

In the last 5 minutes, the peepers starting singing for the first time. Spring is friggin awesome.

Saw my first osprey yesterday,

No peepers yet, but the wood frogs are raising a ruckus in my vernal pool.

Saw a cormorant fly over too.

No peepers here, and there won't be for the rest of this week if the weather forecast holds up.

Great day yesterday!

Saw some gardener snakes, they were coming out of the granite rocks, pretty cool.

Took the dogs for a 3 mile hike thru the woods, then picked off ticks :wall:

Went scouting near my girls families house, looks so good!! Deep water right near shore and boulder fields. :soon:

Despite a bit of snow this morning, spring is here. I saw an osprey, an eagle and a striped bass this weekend.

the ground is fairly warm so it'll melt

but it is a grim reminder of what once was
(one of the most brutal winters on record)

we get literally hundreds of these guys singing in the stream in our yard. It runs about 50' from our bedroom window. They should start w/ the next warm spell. Makes it hard to sleep, but it is pretty darn cool. The kids love it too.
