<p>While watching a male Eastern Bluebird feed it's fledglings , I noted that he returned with a meal about every 2 or 3 min. - that's alot of bugs in the course of a day!</p><div></div>

<p>This male catbird repeatedly ran through his repertoire of calls while I enjoyed the sights, sounds and smells of our property across the creek back here on Mother Earth </p><div></div>

<p>Never ceases to amaze me how quick the signs of spring advance with a few relative warm days. The ponds, rivers and marshes are now open and the calliope of tree frogs and peepers fill the air. Hilltops are twinged red with the buds emerging from the maples and silver"worms" drape from the poplars. Robins, red wings and bluebirds have staked claims to nesting sites and mallards and geese have paired off as the great migrant flocks have passed - leaving behind new seasonal residents.</p><div></div>

<p>Middle of last week, the ice on the pond across the road was just beginning to melt when this heron stopped to look for a meal(pond is now ice free and the swallows are picking out nest boxes)</p><div></div>

<p>A couple of near 60' days and the 1st crocus blossoms appeared - only to be covered with an inch or so of fresh snow. Got to love spring time in the NE</p><div></div>

<p>About 1 PM photo submissions in critique forum appeared normal again - no thumbnail/link icons.</p>
-
<p>So far this AM photos in the critique forum are not available for review in a hit and miss pattern. Photo thumbnails are hidden as in too large an image but when I click on the thumbnail - nothing shows anyways, see attached screen shot. To my knowledge I have not changed any of my settings re: Google, photo.net and or Norton. Was not a problem before - result of p.net's update ?</p><div></div>

<p>After a couple of days that approached the 60' mark, our NE spring weather took a couple of steps back and provided a dusting of snow</p><div></div>

<p>In a local marsh (still half covered in ice)</p><div></div>

<p>Swamps and marshes are starting to open up & the migration is on</p><div></div>
-
<p>Mild weather in bits & pieces has melted snow cover on southern exposures creating easier picking for wildlife but ponds and lakes are still ice covered. In one, approx. 20 acre, field I counted 27 deer with my binoculars on a recent sunny afternoon.</p><div></div>

<p>Pair of tundra swans stopped on one of the open areas in a local river</p><div></div>

<p>Snow is slowly melting off hillsides and open leads appear in local rivers this past week</p><div></div>
-
<p>Couple of sunny, "warm" spells(40's F) has lead to snow melting off southern exposures on the hillsides and the deer and turkeys are taking advantage of easier pickings.</p><div></div>
