While its a long way off, Spring is finally in the air today. The temperatures are into the middle 40s and the eves are dripping water from the snow on the roof. We're scheduled for a number of mild days until the middle of next week when another (last?) dip in temperature is expected.
The Winter birds are still coming to the feeders, but with the warmer weather, I won;t be surprised that some will be moving on back up north. Along with the Chickadees, Nuthatches, and Jays, I've spent much of the late Winter with Pine siskins and Redpolls.
Deer have been pretty bold most of the Winter as well. Even with the feeding ban, I don't worry about them getting through the Winter as they come in to clean up under the feeders and to play "king of the snow hills" created when the driveway gets plowed.
Hopefully, it won't be long and they can move back deep into the woods and leave the turkeys and squirrels to any spilled seeds!
