Easter Surprise

An April surprise – in time for Easter weekend. Snow again on Wednesday night into early Thursday. We awoke to a white forest, draping tree and road and rock. Spring has disappeared again, but not completely. Birds that had wintered elsewhere have already returned. The forests and wetlands are full of their sound and the flash of their wings.
We have a Wood Duck threesome who like to forage for food by waterfall in the wetlands brook. They are shy, though, so I couldn’t get a good photo of them.
Since the temps haven’t budged above 40 in a few days, and won’t perhaps until the end of the week…we will have to wait for further signs of spring.
