Last evening (1/5/13), around dusk (~5:30), I heard a Woodcock peenting on
my property near my back woods. This may be the earliest in the year I've
ever heard one.
Today (a beautiful winter day!) I observed 5 Bald Eagles soaring lazily
high over my property. There were four adults and one first-year immature.
Two of the adults engaged in "close formation" flying and some
vocalizations. (My property is a few miles northeast of Allen's Fresh, so
seeing eagles here is not surprising but always a treat.)
It may be winter, but already there are stirrings of spring!
