The numbers just keep climbing. Since a week ago last Thursday -
Bald eagles - 4 sightings - 3 pairs and one single
Herons - 2 in the river, 1 in the canal, 2 flying over and 4 sightings of herons returning to their nests high in the trees by the river - There were 8 there this morning.
Ducks - Lots of mallards - of course. Widgeons - Always some on the canal and in the pond by River Run. Wood ducks - They are back on the island in the pond by River Run. Today we saw about 5 pairs. Merganzers (See posting on 2/1/09) - on the pond and the river every time we walk. Yesterday - for the first time - what we call "chocolate ducks" are back. They are so pretty with chocolate brown heads, creamy chocolate chests and brown beaks with a white frosting stripe going across it.
Canadian geese - Too many too count - and noisy!!!!
What an amazing world we live in:)

Totally agree that it is, indeed, a beautiful world. And, I like you, am aawed by the signs of spring.
It is fun to see what is happening with your family! :)
