Birds in what should be spring ...

 The Robin is looking for his travel agent in 19°F weather

These ducks are stopping thinking they have arrived at the arctic. Ring-necked ducks, Redhead and Buffel Head (left to right)

The Swains are still on the creek

 Maybe they will stay.

Swans

 These Swans were relaxing and feed on Mud Creek.  Not a usual sight.

Snow ... the last pictures. Ok the start of the last pictures

 The highs for the day have started to be above freezing and you can see the snow on the bridge which shows how much must melt.  About 18"

The lake is frozen end to end.

What snow?

Sunrise 24Feb015

A day at the park ... Mertensia Park

 A look up the Mud Creek at the Interurban bridge, now used as part of the Auburn Hiking trail.
The Mertensia (Blue Bells) are coming soon - maybe

 Grenville enjoys a hot day on the trail.  It got up to 22°F from -2°F at 7:00 AM this morning

 Schools out, let's hit the hill with our sleds

Further up Mud creek.
