The two Male Buffleheads are still chasing each other. And I saw a female for the first time this year

Geese grazing on the far shore.  Flocks of geese flying way overhead honking noisily.

The sound of songbirds in the air.

Saw a squirrel. Saw a grackle.

Put out bird feeders.

The two Buffleheads still here courting or squabbling all over the lake, air and water.

Returned from Winter in Oaxaca Mexico. I am going to make an attempt to keep up this blog this spring and document how things develop and evolve.

Snow is gone for now. Lake Clare has thawed. Temp in the 40's and 30's at night.  Recent  heavy rains have flooding in the general area.

Two Buffleheads, one chasing the other all around the lake. Haven't seen them on the water at all. No geese.

Feeder not up yet.
