Wednesday, April 13 Bob Barr biked to work.  Trish put away the snowshoes and her winter boots.  The last of the ice went out on Louie's Pond.  So... It's official spring has arrived. 

We have been talking in staccato clips.  Sandhill cranes!  Red-wing blackbirds!  Grackles!  Phoebes!Yellow-rumped warbler!  Brown creeper!  Two geese on Louie's Pond!  Two mallards!

For those teachers and their students coming this spring for the pond study, be assured frogs and insects have been spotted swimming in Louie's Pond.
