Signs of Spring!




Finally Spring is here! We have had great weather all week and signs of spring are everywhere! At peajack Coltsfoot are in bloom. Robins are hopping all over our lawns and fields looking for worms. Crows are flying with sticks in their beaks, many gulls are pairing up. The Muskrat was in its normal spot chewing on sticks.Large amounts of Black ducks and eider ducks have been sighted at pond cove and around Western Light. Yesterday in Freeport i sighted a Pileated woodpecker doing some house cleaning making her hole a bit bigger in the telephone pole close to my dads place. She has nested there for about three years now. Also sighted Skunk cabbage in bloom, lots of black-capped chickadees weaving in and out of the alders. Dark-eyed juncos are gathering along side the road along with Bluejays, grackles and starlings. A spruce Grouse flew out in front of me and two make pheasants were sighted along the roadside as i was driving through Long Island.
