Happy Spring!



I've missed the last couple of days of posting due to my 4th son turning 15, and having a large party! I welcomed in a gorgeous first day of Spring with a evening hike with my Petey and I've been out and about the entire weekend as usual, never wanting to miss even one moment of the unfolding of another delightful Spring. One of my favorite cheerful little birds is the Eastern Phoebe. Yesterday I saw my first one of the year up at Cascade Lake Park. It is always a welcome sight to see one bobbing his cute little tail. I also saw Bluebirds, several pairs back by the old beaver dam in CLP on the Jersey side. Robins, tons of Vultures flying all over the place the last several days. Lots of Redtails, and today on the pond in the town park there was a Great Blue Heron. The large flock of Pine Siskins continues, Juncos, W.T. Sparrows, and now Song Sparrows. So far there are no Wood Frogs at the vernal pool I monitor. It seems as though it is just too cold out in the middle of the woods. Today it was only about 45 when I ventured out, and a bit windy so it seemed colder.
