Things are going to get awfully busy now. Some signs of spring in the last few weeks:
A Canada goose, sitting snugly on her eggs in the Greenbelt Metro Station parking lot (area 4c), as early as 4 March.
Blooming crocuses, just in the same spot where I saw them last year.
Spring peepers at the vernal pond. Unfortunately, I just checked for the first time on 10 March and though they were silent at 6:15pm, they started chorusing around 6:30pm.
Photos and video to be posted when I find the darn cable for my little camera.
This clever little fellow dropped, a dead and dry husk, onto my printout as I was geocaching near Desert National Wildlife Refuge. I later realized I am working on a project that involves digitized plates and descriptions of weevils from Central America. I found a couple of possible genera, then Googled them. Not a thing. Perhaps the names have changed since 1911.
A few weeks ago I spotted this interesting sight from the air. Will post coordinates later. I looked it up on Google Earth and it looked different. Not sure I found the same spot.
Speaking of spots, wonder how to make an observation of this!
