It is the first of April and I have been remiss in getting out and taking photographs. But, then again, it still feels like winter.
The arctic buntings have just passed by on their trip north. The ducks, geese and gulls are crowding the infrequent open waters of the lake. The red-winged black birds are calling from the tree tops, waiting for the marshes to melt. The killdeer wonder why there is still ice covering parts of the corn fields.
The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) has returned (actually there are flocks that spend the whole winter in Vermont). This one has been pulling up worms in the backyard. So, I therefore declare that spring must finally be just around the corner...
