Wild Spring
It’s been a couple of wild weather weeks in the northeast corner with three spring snowstorms in just three weeks. The local wildlife appears unfazed by the precipitation and temperature fluctuation. In this short time the phoebes have returned and begun their annual scouting mission for the perfect nesting spot, usually atop a downspout on the east side of the house. The year-round goldfinch residents are molting and changing into their bright yellow summer feathers. While white-tailed deer lounge in a clearing a gray squirrel performs acrobatic maneuvers while munching on tender buds. A handsome red fox passed through one early morning, but managed to zip by before the camera could be positioned. I hope to be ready next time!
