Wow, did it ever feel like spring today!?! Warm and sunny weather and many other hints: spring ephemerals are sprouting on the forest floor, Violet-Green Swallows are back and singing, Dark-eyed Juncos are pairing up, buds are swelling on many trees, and Turkey Vultures are soaring over open spaces.
Today's 2.6 mile walk covered my Jackson Creek loop. We hoofed it up the hill (proceeding counter-clockwise as usual), then enjoyed a more leisurely pace from there on. Streams are running full and noisy; big dog even got to soak his belly (one of his very favorite things to do in warmer weather). We stopped at the meadow on the return to have a little mousing time, too.
