Feels like Spring is finally starting here in Vermont. Looking out the window today, a pair of blue birds sittting on one of the freshly cleaned bird boxes. Some photos from earlier this Spring, cleaning and surveying the song-bird boxes. We had many successful nests last year and hope for many more this year.

Note the Beaver taking a sunning break on the pile of debris at the inflow to the Hartland Dam. Probably wondering whay we're lettitng so much water through.
