Spring Is Upon Us

When I looked out my kitchen window this morning, I almost spit my coffee out! There was a red winged blackbird feeding on one of my suet cakes! I wasn’t expecting to see any of them for at least another 2 weeks or so. Anyone else seeing any early arrivals?

I’ve had swans using a small open spot on the Miss for a couple weeks now.  The roost usually has 16 birds on it.  Yesterday 18 were there.  Every once in a while a few honkers come by but haven’t stayed.

 

Last Monday I walked the ice near shore to check things out.  Wednesday I couldn’t walk the same path with the ice giving way.  I made a private prediction I’d see breakup in about a week.  It’ll be close I think.  Then I can start watching all the cool diver ducks migrate north again.  Too bad they don’t use this route in the fall.

Well, count me in for robins now too.  Just took a walk outside.

 

I see two pairs of geese are hanging with the swans and one pair seems to be locked down on the prime nesting spot in that area.  It’s always the first one picked and probably the most contested spot within my viewing area.

 

I’m north of Little Falls for area reference.

For any of you that may have cardinal nest boxes (I’m putting one up today), I can’t help but think they would be robin magnets. Any issues?

 

That's a good question. I assume your cardinal box has an open front? I have seen Robins nest on top of just about anything.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
