It is snowing again. Big wet slush flakes that don't stick around for long. I hope. I don't really need to show another snow photo.
The Weather Network predicts a cool spring , followed by a good summer, warmer than last year.
In between the lingering snowfalls, birds are giving hope that the seasons are progressing. I have seen views of seven or ten eagles out in the passage swooping for herring , each of the last two days. They don't often pose close enough for a decent photo. They are following herring that is dispersing from the spawning areas. On these dates in the last two years , it was a much warmer spring- like weather when the eagle shows happened. It is all probably happening a bit later this year.
A pair of geese is coming close in to the docks and shore to feed on the new shore grasses, and possibly to scout out a nesting site. Just as they have done in past years. Most of their nests will be found by predators, especially raccoons.
And of course, the bird of spring is the robin, the first I've seen this year. Spring must be coming.
PS, by evening the grass was covered white.
