Signs of Spring, and a Snow Storm.

Just went out to enjoy a day above freezing.

Skunks and opossums are wandering in the roads looking for mates and getting run over.  

Red maple buds are swelling, creating red smudges on the hillsides.

Male birds are going insane.  There is no quiet anywhere, what with the cardinals, juncos, titmice, chickadees,

goldfinches, woodpeckers, Carolina wrens, red-shouldered hawks, and robins all screaming for attention.
Pileated woodpecker in my back yard this afternoon.  I have been
trying to get a photo of one of these giant woodpeckers for years.  
They are very shy.



As for that major storm next week, maybe, maybe not.  Stay tuned.  There will be more accurate predictions once the storm actually forms.
