Well, the weather man was right (surprised?) it was windy and cold. Didn't get much snow just a little bit of wet, then as it got colder tonight it stuck, so there is a little white on the ground.
Spring in Mudlake brings two interesting things, sandhill cranes and snow geese. The cranes seem to be increasing in number, it used to be rare to see them. Now you see quite a few. The field across the road from us was in corn. When they harvested they left about 2 feet of stalk and the leaves. The sandhill cranes have been really enjoying this treat. They have been putting on quite the show as it is mating season. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get a good picture, brown birds-brown corn stalks-brown dirt, and they don't exactly like visitors, so I googled a couple of pictures that are shown here.
The snow geese come in in flocks numbering in the thousands. They are a very impressive site. I have a good picture somewhere, but not handy so again thanks google and if I did it right there is a youtube video I wanted you to hear the noise, when they come or go it is very loud.
