Now that the middle of April has arrived the weather has finally started to feel like it should with warmer temps the last couple days ago after we have endured below average temps and occasional rain and snow for the previous several days. I could not get out yesterday due top work but did get out this morning and added a number of species for the year during a number of stops including Fitzgerald Lake and Great Pond. For the year I now stand at 141 species and 114 species for April with both totals a bit ahead of my ten year average in Hampshire County.
I also checked the ducks boxes today and found that I now have eggs in all three boxes with Hooded Mergansers sitting on eggs in two of the three boxes. The last box didn't have eggs in it a few days ago so happy to see some in it today...another year of all three boxes being used.
