So glad to see Spring weather here, little green things coming up.We visited a town about 35 miles away and saw a lot of Loons and American White Pelicans ! Also, at a place called Audubon Pond for the first time saw a large flock of Swans (we think Trumpeter) ! Both Swans and Pelicans were extinct in WI until they were brought back in the late 1900s.I never saw them growing up. There are noisy Red Wing Blackbirds all over the place in the wetlands, and Robins in the yard. There is an Owl nest at Olbrich Gardens and we could just see a bit of the baby owls ear and round head, so cool! There is a Hawk nest in our neighbor"s tree so I think I will be emptying the bird bird feeder. Don't want see the smaller birds get taken...Chipmunks and squirrels better hide too.
Happy Birthday Jim!
Gail, we're having that too--a taste of warmer weather, then cold again and even snow flurries. the rain is welcome because we got only half of our usual snow and things are dry. Hope your husband is feeling better, it took my husband to years to heal from his wrist fracture. The actual fracture healed fairly fast, but the ligament and muscles were torn and took a long time. He could do most things but not heavy lifting or twisting motions.
Happy Easter!
