Some birds and spring runoff

 The spring runoff kept me from going all the way up to Clark's gully water fall

 I finally got a picture of a Cardinal which spend the winter but are down in the brush.  Now they are trying to be seen by a passing female.

 I think this is a pair of House Wrens but they may just be checking each other out.

 This Mourning Dove was basking in the sun

 A Robin just daring Grenville to chase him - which he did.

We scared up a couple of Woodducks but couldn't get a shot through the trees.  These Mallards seemed a bit perturbed and flew in a circle until we left.

March goes out like a Lion

 How the trail looked last Tuesday and up to yesterday

The trail this morning.  Notice Grenville leaping to be able to move at all.  At least it is March where expect snow.

The flowers are finally blooming

 These guys are Looking for spring.

 The Skunk Cabbage is finally in bloom a couple weeks later than normal.

 Spring can only be around the corner.

Deer that made it through the winter

 Yesterday's deer

Today's deer.  A White Tail if you had not guessed.

A March 12 storm roils through

 The path this morning with a little snow maybe 1-2 ins after about 3 hours of snow.

 Slightly later in the afternoon maybe 4 in on the railing

In the evening about 6 in

Later in the evening the wind is still howling at 40-50 mph and the snow is still falling.  Currently it is 15° F I'm just glad it is March not January when it might have been cold as well as snowy.

Duck

 These Redheads and Lesser Scaup share the open water in this little pond.  There has been very open water anywhere with the Great Lakes mostly frozen over and the local Fingerlakes frozen oven.

Errata:  in the previous post I called them Canvasbacks, but they were more likely the Redheads like these.

March comes forth we hope

 The Canvasback and Canada Gooses gather around the open water on the golf course pond.

 Once again it is the annual Orchid Show at Sonnenberg Garden in Canandiagua NY.
