We were supposed to get rain or snow overnight.  Hasn't happened yet, but the sky gives me the impression that that has been filed under "Pending Business" . . .

Some blotch-finches at the feeder this morning, molting goldfinches.  No sign of the redpolls yesterday or yet this morning.  I suspect that if we do see those again, they will represent a different flock passing through.

Brown-headed cowbirds mixed in with the grackles and starlings.  Evil!

Saw a pair of ducks up at the cemetery pond the other day, automatically assumed mallards.  Then one went "gloop" and vanished.  Then the other.  Hooded mergansers, gone fishing.

Wife reports ice-out on the nature center lake, also wood frogs quacking.

Made a quick run-out to the Rad Shack for a new bike computer battery, it being nearly road-bike time, and saw a car in an unused parking lot with buckets of pussy-willow cuttings for sale.  Spring flowers, Maine style.

Also a sign of the economic times, that someone thought the couple of bucks they could make on free materials was worth the effort . . .
