I know, I know. This is decidedly slim pickings for the blog, but I can't just keep putting up posts that talk about how much we wish Spring were here, although we do. I think the coyotes will be happy when Spring arrives as well because from the looks of this coyote scat, they've been reduced to eating a lot of scavenged or leftover bones. In the meantime the dogs and I still strap on the snowshoes and wander out each day to see what we can see in the forest. We've seen lots of turkey tracks from a small flock of about 6 birds over the last few days in addition to the signs of coyotes. There was one sign of Spring today. Our golden retriever took her first swim in the river which is now almost completely free of ice. Stay tuned in the days ahead for a post on maple sugaring. The maple sugar season is about to take off for real after a false start about two weeks ago. The next 10 days are shaping up to be good weather for the sap to run and all of the local sugar makers should be firing up the evaporators.
