3-17

Early this am a small skein of geese moved north high and fast, but within range of my somewhat questionable hearing. It was great listening to them announce their passage.

Several grackles were in the trees along the West River.

A Red-shouldered hawk made its first appearance on the hillside above my house.

This Wooly Bear Caterpillar was crawling across Camp Arden Rd. when I found it. Very early for a wooly bear!

And this beetle crash landed on the snow as I watched. It got airborne again within a minute or two.

It felt like spring to me, and I guess I was not alone!
