Now that you mentioned it, I've seen more this year than any other. I always considered the robbin red-breast a good sign of spring, but I saw her the other night and her breasts looked pale and saggy.. oh well.

Yes, I have seen some dead skunks on the road also. Yes, it is that time of the year where a horny male skunk will chase a female across the road and he won't look both ways before crossing the street.

Up the road from me on the way to work and I suspect the same for
RednekF350 is a young lad of a skunk that was nicely dispersed across Chew Road. So well dispersed in fact that you can't avoid picking up a little of him coming or going unless you go offroad to avoid him.
I don't claim to know their rutting season but I will say this fellow must have had P***y on the mind to have mis-stepped so badly and provided such a skunk mosaic to Chew Road.

Thursday while coming home from work on S.Pemberton Rd. I spotted 2 dead deer, a dead raccoon, a dead rabbit, and a dead pheasant. It must be a killing zone on this short stretch of road because many of the skunks I see are in this same area.

Hard to believe less than a week ago several inches of snow was being dumped on the area. But it's March.

The songbirds are singing. I'll be spending the next scheduled dawn (tomorrow morning ...heh-heh) secluded in Penn Swamp listening to these guys, and watching darkness wane. This, if I can maintain motivation, will be the first of many early-morning trips there this spring. I'm hoping to audio record a spring series of bird cries.

I was hoping to hear Spring Peepers this year but have not yet. One year on Chew Road it was in February.
