SPRING IS HERE!

Just before we were leaving for a bit of furniture hunting (more on that later), we spotted the osprey flying overhead with a fish! We went down to the nest, but it was hunkered down eating. I've snatched a photo of them feeding, I love how they know to hold the fish so it is perpendicular to their body!


Amazing day:

wood frogs in the frog pond, teeny mosquito larvae swimming happily, bullfrog tadpoles (which remain as tadpoles for two years–unlike other frogs), spring peepers at night, phoebe singing this morning!

  4. It certainly feels quite spring like here too- the only snow left is in shady areas. Ice is still an issue on parts of the canal through the city, but it's breaking up.
