No signs of spring

Nipped by MNR briefly after work. A Great Blue Heron was stalking prey at the small pond. GBHs are common at Lake Needwood but I have never had them at Lake Frank or the small pond. A yellow-bellied sapsucker was a new MNR bird for the year and my second for the site. Time for birding has been agonizingly thin especially with goodies such as Virginia's Warbler and Pink-footed Goose in the state. As a consequence the blog has been mostly dead. Measures for resuscitation are under way...
