Tough Week

It has been a tough week for those of us that like Spring. It snowed, three out of the past seven days. But, don't tell that to the flowers, that keep pushing forward with the Spring season. 

But by the end of the week, it was feeling like Spring and looking like it.

Yellow Rump Warbler



American Robin



Moving North

It's that time of year, the time of year, when the migration north is on. But, sometimes you have to look for it. It's not the large flocks of Geese and duck's, but the little ones that are heading north of the border after spending the winter in the deep south or tropics.

Ruby Crowned Kinglet

I know, that I am always tell people to look for the little things, that shouldn't be there. And I'm going to do it again. Take a look at the photo of the tree, do you see the Brown Creeper. This little bird, spends it's day, in the lower parts of trees, in the shadows, looking for bugs. If you see something, moving around in the shadows of the tree's, it just might be a Creeper.

Frozen Four

 

It's that time of year, for the NCAA Frozen Four Men's Hockey Championship. This year, the event was held in St. Paul MN, which just kind of felt strange, not going some place out of state to watch it. But, that didn't stop us from having a good time. The championship came down to University of Minnesota Duluth and University of Michigan. Duluth won it in overtime, 3-2. Korey and Brady showed up, to spend the weekend with us, and going to the games and tailgating of course. Next year Tampa FL.  

Spring and a sunny day

I think this old Snapping Turtle, sums up how most of us in Minnesota felt this weekend, when the sun came out and the ice started to melt. But as you can see, other forms of life, are enjoying the sun. It didn't take long for a little green to show up. The Muskrat on the other hand, found itself, some winter kill, to feed on. Keep coming Spring, I know you can do it.
