Tim with your winter, I am sure the indoor trainer is getting a work out... but I bet you could tie enlightenment flies for the entire sight... haha

My trainer wheel in the garage...

And not the same weather as 2017... snowshoeing in my woods...

My sure sign we are just a week away from "spring" is the Red Winged Blackbirds show back up and SIGN like crazy!!

Also, the warm weather last year the first frog songs have been heard!

We were in moses lake for a hockey tournament over the weekend - took my boys to RF (they'd never been). My oldest commented several times about how cool the red wing blackbirds were. They were very active and really vocal.

I hiked through some of the shrub steppe country a bit south of RF yesterday and could hear meadowlarks calling; one of my favorite spring birds.

The only thing green around here is the color of the bird feeder

I've been seeing a bunch of squirrels running around these past couple warmer days (into the high 30's and sunny) in Western NY. I'm just looking forward to the snow melting off some of the local running/walking paths over the next week.

I heard a varied thrush call in the woods 2 days ago.

Yeah it’s cooled off again for now but we are still trudging towards Spring. Stinging nettle is up. Too many dogs walk by here for me to harvest these ones, though.

Ohio - snow finally melts after 30+ days of white. First day it's gone I go outdoors...only to wake the next morning with a tick in my lower gut. Good times

Went out to take the pup for a walk this afternoon here in PA and there were about 2 dozen robins scrounging around in the front garden. The first of the year. I'm hoping they know something I don't know.

A deep hunger for live worms?

Where in PA - if you are in the most Eastern quarter, gonna stop looking like spring for the next couple of days:

Robins showed up en masse in our Oregon Coast neighborhood this past week. Our big mixed flocks of scaup on Devils Lake have for the most part departed and the ones that are still around have started pairing up.
