Observed but not photographed that day…

pair of belted kingfishers

an active beaver dam (no beaver sightings!)

Jefferson Salamanders (no eggs yet!)

Start looking for skunk cabbage…even if there is snow on the ground!

Listen for the “quacking” of the mating wood frogs! We saw the wood frogs as early as February 24 in 2023 near Hopewell Furnace.

SPRING is coming soon! Enjoy the journey on your walks in the woods in Early Spring!
