Signs of spring
 

This morning I was heading out to work,I was about to jump into the truck,I couldn't believe what I was hearing......I heard one, then two then a few more jump in on the chorus & all together they began back & forth........Spring peepers are here!:lama:
It won't be long now.Woohooo!

cool
 

can't wait

Yup. I heard a couple last weekend. Won't be long now. :bl:

I've been hearing them for a solid week now....:err:....well past the chorus stage. .... Sounds more like the "Peeper Center"....:err:

Same here. I first saw a couple hopping across the road last Tuesday night, then heard them that night. Since then, I've heard them every night. Even on the really cold nights, they've been peeping like crazy

sooo close, yet sooooo far.

2 more weeks is all i'm gonna last. after that it's fishin time. i dont care if it's snowing ::knock on wood::

they are my bride's favorite sound of nature :love: :love:.

me, i prefer the sound of a surface crashing Striped One

first thing in the mornin' ~as she crushes my Danny :humpty: :humpty:

:hihi::hihi::hihi:

Surface temps for the Boston area are still in the mid 30's. I have no data on Quincy Bay or inside Hull, maybe a tad warmer due to shallower water. Man, we need Spring to get here. Anyone have an idea when the flounder start to show? Maybe when the waters hit 50? Got to get out, been a really long bad Winter.

Flounder in early May Rick.

temperatures
 

i watch temperatures extremely close....(hourly!)
and next week we finally will be showing temperatures
that are above 32 degrees for the low
other than that......... we have been flat lining _______:blush:
this of course is at 600 feet above sea level
(in my neck of the woods)
but in my opinion it is only when we reach
this plateau ....that the upward trend begins...
and after that the infrequent dips below freezing
are of no consequence.

Saw a king fisher and a red winged blackbird last weekend.

lol

Down here on Long Island I was fishing with a Kingfisher last week. I have been hearing Red winged Blackbirds for a few weeks and saw Gulls feasting on cinchworms. :soon:

I just saw an osprey.... :D

Where ya at on LI?

I'm on LI too.

Ospreys are nesting by me.

may the Lu bird of paradise nest in your ........

I've noticed that there have been more outdoor murders lately. Once people step outside to do their killin' you know the good weather's comin'

I was just celebrating my weight loss with a high calorie beer, and laughed into my glass.

-spence

Not yet Maine just got 14 inches of snow. Going back up in a week.

I've been seeing 1st signs of spring the past few days on the way to work,
Road Kill !!!

Your killing me :biglaugh::biglaugh:

Spring can't come quick enough! I'm done with winter ... and the freakin' cold!!! :cens:

i know!! i've been watching the surface temps for the past month.. they spike every now and then at around 41 (usually after rain), and i get all excited. then they drop back to mid 30's and i cry. still... two weeks and i'm there. maybe throw on some clams in some deep water see if i can't find a cod or something, while tossing around some new gear or something.

what the hell is a spring peeper?

Casey....Your an Animal good luck on yur trip & I look forward to fishing w/ you soon.

Yup gotta love them skunks & other varmints seems like there just aching to jump in front of traffic or there just taking naps in & on the road:1poke:
Jimmy yur kidding me right?!

I stepped outside last evening, it was a little cool, but no too bad. I looked at my watch, and said, "yes!", it was about 6:30 pm and still light. It's been a long winter, for sure,:kewl:

For some reason we've had lady bugs in our house......All winter :huh:

Me too !
