13 April 2019 Kinzua Country Spring

For a number of years, we have had phoebe's nest in the downspout of our home.  This morning, a pair was spending time on the patio as we had breakfast.

Once we were outside, the we saw a nest was back in a familiar location.

We took a walk in our woods and spotted a garter snake and hepatica in bloom.

Our afternoon was a hike in Chapman State Park with the dogs.  We started our journey spotting a bluebird on a power line at the parking area.

We stopped at the reservoir to see the progress of refilling the water after the dam was rebuilt.  The water was still quite low, but hopefully on the way to bringing the park back to normal.

Uh oh, somone spotted this turkey nest.

Our longer walk in the woods yielded a few more cache finds including a very clever one.
