Just a quick update to say that the dogwoods are starting to bloom. They are in their greenish stage, and I think it will be at least another week before most of them are in full bloom, perhaps as much as two weeks.
I saw what looked like a family group of Hooded Mergansers on a small pond not far from Loving Road yesterday, and I saw several on another small pond on Spur 60 about a week ago, so we have some migrants coming back through.
