Sure Sign Of Spring In Nebraska

Went outside my cabin door yesterday at sun up and had a male wood duck walking along the creek bank just about 30 yds away. Walked to the creek and a dozen or so woodies flew away. Also heard some gobbles out in the heavy timber not too far away. Spring is here... may still get some cold and some snow possibly.,... but no doubt winter is almost in our rear view mirror !!!

Seen a painted turtle by a creek while checking beaver traps a few days ago. Pocket gophers are out as well.

Here in PA the groundhogs are out & skunk cabbage is sprouting
