Welcome to Spring in Ohio

Monday, March 25, 2013 - the first day of Spring Break for my school, and most of the schools in central Ohio.  Here is what we woke up to:

In spite of the 3-4" of snow around the feeder, we also saw this today:  

These 3 are Gary, Jerry and Larry.  

And then, there's Matilda and Hershal:  

Matilda and Hershal almost always visit together.  Sometimes one will be ahead of the other, but he keeps a pretty close eye on her.  She is a little more skittish than he is, but she seems to decide when it is time to eat and when it is time to leave.  All of these photos were taken from New House.  We are used to getting ducks at Old House in the spring, but so far we haven't seen them there yet - perhaps because of our proximity to the creek now?  

Well, that's it for today.  Thanks for reading, and don't forget to feed the fish!
