Cold, bright and calm

The early sunlight is golden and the water like a mirror. Egrets are sunning below the dam and a heron further along. Wood ducks are hanging out on a boat across the creek. Mergansers are busy diving.

I can hear a lot of birdsong in the trees. Chickadees are working on the feeder. And the most heartening sign, the maple trees are starting to bud! The twigs are turning red.
