Spring has arrived in the Upper Connecticut River Valley. That doesn’t mean we’re done with winter, just that you can’t expect seasons in Vermont to progress in a logical order. With water thawing, I stirred from my hibernation and ventured out around the area to see who was out and about. Signs that spring has arrive that I found included a kingfisher, a great blue heron and – definitive proof – a painted turtle basking.
I love all your photos of the birds and other wildlife and your captions that explain where they were taken and what interactions were taking place. You have a generous spirit and a good sense of humor.
Thank you for sharing!

Ian: I always love your pictures and especially
appreciate them this year. My favorite of this group is the squirrel licking sap.
Thanks. I think the squirrel knows she’s a little cutie.

Yes, that red tongue! Wonderful photos — thank you for capturing all that’s going on around us, often unseen!
