Well, today was 57 degrees and it finally looks like Spring might take hold in the Wetlands. We have had alot of Spring snow, but we can now hear the frogs at night and the geese are back. We have one possible nesting pair and lots of ducks. We had Sand Hill Cranes visiting earlier in the week and a large grey crane yesterday.
We finally have our Eagle Scout coming tomorrow to begin work on the “living fence” that will surround the wetland. It looks like good weather for the project. He plans on 750 feet of fence (non-barbed wire) and then will plant Willows as a foundation plant for the entire length. Later on this summer we will finish with the noxious weed control and begin to plant more wetland plants.
Still no sign of Wood ducks in our special nesting boxes, but we are hopeful.
