Thursday, March 2

Wow, was that the sun we saw today. What a beautiful day despite the cool wind it almost felt like spring. The water in our yard is finally subsiding but oh, how many sticks and branches there are cluttering the yard. When it finally drys out we are going to be pretty busy. The water in the yard has been attracting many birds. The crazy robins that insist on staying here all winter were checking the edge of the water line looking for worms and great looking pair of wood ducks hung out long enough for me to snap a few pictures. I also saw my first turkey vulture today circling around the John Deere store this afternoon. The Hinkley buzzards always return on March 17 but our residents that roost in our woods usually return like clock work on March 10.
