February may have the least number of days of any month, but somehow it feels like the longest month of the year! I guess because we know that spring is right around the corner and we can't wait for it to get here.
There just hasn't been a lot happening. We've had some nice sunny days....
Other's not so nice but no snow....at least so far.
Some days there have been hundreds of Canada and Cackling Geese, other days none, partly due to Goose hunting opening for a month.
in the last week or so, there have been a large number of Northern Pintail, sometimes in the fields and sometimes out on the river.
it would normally be considered a sign of spring, but American Robin's have been hanging around all winter, although they are being seen more frequently now.
Downy Woodpeckers have been quite active, seen almost every day
and Great Blue Heron are seen regularly....
the fact that we are seeing Canada Geese on pilings, checking for nesting sites, is a definite sign that spring is coming....
as are the Pussy Willows that are starting to show up....now we need a dandelion to flower!
