just seen a green heron!! watched it hunting along the shore line!!

Back yard is crazy with birds in this light rain. Yellow and purple finches, hummingbird birds, orioles, robins, morning doves. Think I also seen a cowbird

Holy smokes! What are these, Sister Wives?! Need another box?

The pond does have a few bass in it. But Mr snapping turtle is already licking his chops.

Well learned something new. I thought only one female would lay per-nest. But, households are a bit different today!

Even with 2 ducks, that's a shiat ton of eggs. Future bass feed. I hope they all hatch and make the jump.

Look a little closer.... It takes 2 ducks to lay that many eggs.

Hole craap! If all ducks laid that many eggs, I may start Duck hunting again!

So I checked my wood duck house by sticking my camera in the hole. There are a lot of eggs. A LOT. I got worried that it was an egg dump and mama duck abandoned it. So I checked it again and.....

I swear I saw one out the window earlier today but I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.

Went out and checked this morning. Nothing happening yet but it has to be soon. The cold nights aren't helping! Did have some Pheasant backs coming up though.

havent seen them yet.....did see my first oriole though!!!!!!!! were getting there!!!!!!!!

Saw my first blue bird this morning.

Ever put morels on pizza? Pretty tasty. Finding some nice pheasant backs, had some on steak yesterday for Mother's day. Have not found a morel, but I have not gotten out to really look. Would love to find some ramps.

couple siteings the past few days here in cold spring. no orioles as of yet!!!!!!!!

Saw my first hummingbird in Brainerd today.

sure wish i would of waited!!!! i figured garden plants would be like the canning lids. got my tomato and celery plant at fleet farm 3 weeks or so ago, when they werent fully stocked. got the rest there this past friday and they were well stocked. total i had a flat but think i got 40 bucks into them. i should be good to go now, and am going to start finishing plant wed and be done by the weekend. the stuff i already planted are out of the ground now!!!!!!!!

No luck for me this afternoon, but I didn't put in a lot of work. Pulled some ramps though.

Had the first Oriole show up this morning looking for some jelly.

Nice , looks health too! And I wouldn't say something stupid like "Makes me want to take my shirt off!"

I don’t know what birds start singing first but around 4am they seem to wake up. Not sure why cuz I can’t even see a hint of sunrise at that time but I can about set a clock by it. About 3:55 am the one type starts. At 4 the cardinals start and about 4:10 the robins chirp in. I was thinking the robins were first but I’ve been corrected. They might be phoebes?

seen martens today

Nice! Some guy on Facebook market placing is selling a bunch. His location says Litchfield. I checked my spots yesterday and nothing happening yet. Saw a Pheasant Back just forming on one of the trees I get them from each year.
