The rain held off until afternoon. So I was able to take pics for a few hours. Then mow for another few hours. All in all a good day. Most interesting things taking pics was the male eagle spotting a squashed frog on the road and hovering and dropping down to check it out. A truck came along about that time so did not see if the eagle would eat the frog or take it to its young. Several migrators arriving on the farm later on. Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings and one Oriole that I could not get an open picture of. Raining now and supposed to rain until late afternoon. So post again probably Friday or Saturday…

Spent a few hours at an eagles nest early. Saw the first Eastern Kingbird for this year. Also an Opossum that made the right choice and ran back in the grass when a truck came by instead of trying to cross the road. In the afternoon went fishing with my “Little Woman”. We caught a couple trout pretty quickly then I looked down and saw this water snake latching on to one of our fish  (pic at end of post) .The snakes must have been hungry as this snake came back and tried again along with two other smaller ones. A tap on the noggin’ with my rod tip made the snake let go. In all my years of fishing never had this happen before. Had hoped to get started with the garden but forecast calling for three or more inches of rain today and tomorrow so pics and gardening may have to wait. We did plant strawberries a couple weeks ago. Will post when I can if rain forecasts hold up…
