Hummingbirds are back.
Saw a bat this evening.
Great sunset.
Winni railroad ran today.
Mt. Washington docked at the Weirs.
So many motorcycles that I've had trouble sleeping this week.
My balsam fir grove is pumping out a nice spring perfume.
Saucer magnolias will open tomorrow.
Spring has reached full power.
The overwhelming onslaught of gold finches is getting out of control. I filled both feeders this morning and both were empty by dark. That's 6 pounds of seed in one day.
Thankfully lots of high intensity white throated sparrow singing has been going on to soothe me.
If we're doing spruce chat, can we have some appreciation for the Norway Spruce? I've always loved their branching structure when they get old and huge. Here's a majestic specimen from downtown Laconia on google maps.
It's the new growth. The sickly color is probably because they were dug after going dormant and stored in an unlit space. They broke dormancy and began to grow in darkness. Decent chance that growth will scorch when the sun hits it.
Torrential windswept miserymist. Extremely low quality morning.
1.21"
Nice peak rain rate of 2.34"/hr which actually woke me up. Love that sound on the roof.
