Within the past two weeks, the signs of spring have come fast and furious.
To begin, song sparrows have arrived in large number and are beginning to sing.
|
|
| |
Red squirrels are licking branches in anticipation of sap rising.
|
|
| |
A mallard couple are scouting the area to check nesting sites.
|
|
| |
And a turkey vulture couple (if I can be as bold as to guess the reason for their proximity) become involved with intense manuevers.
|
|
| |
Meanwhile, on the Toftrees pond, wood duck couples and Canada goose couples are staking out their territories.
|
|
| |
Frogs have been chirping, and today I photographed my first bullfrog of the year.
|
|
| |
The beautiful butterfly mourning cloak has also appeared.
