Feel Spring In The Air

A little cold with the start of my hike this morning. Thermometer was near twenty when I left the house. Once the sun broke the tree line it was nice walking. A canine crossed the road a good distance out. Couldn't tell whether it was a fox or a small coyote. As I approached my favorite swamp it was good to see some open water and a few mallards alerting all that I was present.
From there I headed to the reservoir. Surely sign that spring is near.

Coyotes have been using the ice for easy travel.

Standing under the canopy of a low hanging white pine I caught this guy soaring the shoreline

Sure hope the weatherman is wrong with the storm coming early week.
