Duck!

Mallards, maybe 20-30 grazing brown grass along the (frozen) stream through the cemetery. Afraid I can't call them migrants and a harbinger of spring, as they winter over in open water along our river. No sign of geese yet, even though some Canucks have reported their arrival or passage. Contrary to widespread belief, a sizable chunk of Canadian population lies south of us.

Wind is now picking up, and the sun wanes by the minute. Glad I snuck my bike ride in early.

Geese (Snows and Canadas) have been moving through here (southeastern Pennsylvania) in large numbers for the past several days, so you should see some soon. I was just out in the yard with the dog, and I could here a steady stream of geese going by overhead. Last night there were so many of them that I could hear them in the house with the windows closed.
