A friend sent me a fascinating
article about plants and animals falling out of sync in their responses to climate change. We had a hot February and a cold March. And high winds - a local
article said osprey were having trouble nesting because of the winds. At breakfast, a downy woodpecker worked on the suet from beneath while a very ragged butterbutt perched on top.
The mallard pair were dozing by the creek again after lunch. I weeded more leucojum and verified that the purple flowers were spindly money plants. Turtles were out on the logs again despite the lack of sunshine. Toward evening, a great blue heron perched on the back of the neighbors' dock bench. A titmouse teased me by flitting around outside the window.
