RockyPoint


It is warm- reached 50 today. The ground is becoming green and a large group of robins were busy announcing spring in the woods above the glades. Their song and those of many others were interrupted by the constant reminders of the city. Traffic, sirens, planes and helicopters. The woods were busy. The glade- not so much.
White nuthatches, woodpeckers, turkeys and the brightest bluebirds Ive ever seen were all tearing up the leaf litter. The Chickadees stayed in trees, but seemed to follow the bluebirds around the glades. They stayed in front of me as I walked from the the far glade to the great divide- at which point they flew to the right side of the trail and continued to fly from me in the woods underneath the rocks
There were maybe a dozen bluebirds-about half were still in their dull winter plumage.
the verbena is very green, but shows no sign of buds or blooms.
