Ginger and I went out for an outing on the nearby trails mid-day today. The walking was tricky in mushy snow but the birdsong was up-lifting. My first singing Song Sparrows, lots of Brown Creepers and nuthatches, titmice, cardinals, and crows. One who was quietly perched beside the trail was this Pine Grosbeak.
The river is open again and we are seeing a lot of activity, including this handsome Common Merganser, looking for love in all the right places.
Cold weather coming so much of the river will freeze again but that’s life in March in Vermont.
