Love It

Spring starts "officially" today, but it's presence was obvious and in your face all week. Love it!

There's been flock after flock of Canada Geese flying through and over the valley the past couple weeks. Each morning brings the sounds of "music" everywhere from the valley to the yard. This morning the dawn chorus was exceptional.

The Waterman Creek Great Blue Heron Rookery is filling up with returning pairs from past years. The first birds came in two days ago...there were five individuals. This morning there were over 30 birds and more showing up! It's really quite a sight but the rookery is about an eighth of a mile from the road so binoculars are helpful! This is the time of the year the heron "traffic" begins and its a blast to sit outside and watch the flight patterns flow - over the house and pasture and all around us during the morning, noon and evenings!

Spring is really here!

Love it!
