| Blackbirds in the Silver Maples |
- 1st Thunderstorm of the season
- American Robins have returned to the farm
- Our pair of killdeer have come back and are eagerly flying around the farm looking for the ideal nesting site
- Flock after flock of migratory waterfowl are flying back and forth from the large wetland to the east to their feeding grounds in the west - here are the varieties I have seen so far: Canadian Geese, Mallards, Wood Ducks, Lesser Canadian Geese, Tundra Swans, and even Sandhill Cranes
- Apple trees buds are swelling
- Chickadees have changed their tune from their winter chirps to the wonderful "Chicka -dee-dee-dee" song
- Spring cool-season grasses and clover are starting to show their green leaves
- Flocks of red-winged blackbirds and common grackles are flying by and resting in the large maples
- Even a few flying insects have emerged, but I have yet to identify them
With all of these changes happening around us, I can hardly stand to spend a moment indoors. Yes the season of muddy boots and the fresh smell of rain is here - get out there and enjoy it!
