Spring is here! For real.
New bird arrivals this week include the wood ducks and the great blue herons. I saw them yesterday, March 20th. Just in time for the first day of spring.
Didn't see anything new on my run today, but the warm temperatures and recent rains have caused everything to start turning green. Grass is growing, leaves are popping, and it is really getting pretty here.
A few photos from tonight's run:

Such a beautiful time of year! Thanks for sharing :)
You're spotting a lot of birds I'm missing. I have seen mergansers and swans, though, so the herons should come soon. And of course... I saw Jean's butt.
It has been absolutely gorgeous here, Addy. Can't believe how early spring is arriving this year!
Steve, I finally saw my first hooded merganser of the season, as well as some buffleheads. American kestrel today as well. Seems as if new stuff is arriving daily!
