Regression weather

Air temperature 39 F, wind north about 15 mph, mostly cloudy. Not raining, but I'm not sure we will get warm enough for a bike ride. April uses bait-and-switch marketing.

Neighborhood report

First woodchuck sighting on my walk route. Also, confirmed sharpshin hawk nest -- saw one individual in a maple tree, heard responding call from the white pine.

Thursday spring report

Things are budding out, ducks at the puddles next to the old State Hospital, water levels down a bit at my stream crossings. No redwings claiming the cattail patches yet.

Air temperature 52 F and wind NNW about 10 mph, but I layered a fleece jacket over bike attire and got out for my ride. Did not die.

12 miles, approx, added in a couple more hills.
