The spring migrations of birds are in full swing, warblers abound and the hummingbirds have returned to the feeder. On our walk yesterday there were birds everywhere most notable for me was a Chestnut sided warbler which I see every spring and bobolinks. Bobolinks are a distinctive field nesting bird that were very common in our area.
This year has been different almost hot in March, low water in April and now cool and wet in May. The upside has been some of the 
best trout fishing I have experienced in many years. The Saint George River is still higher than I really like for comfortable wading. It did provide both brook and brown trout on my most recent trip there.
My oldest son Noah (here with a big bass several summers ago) moved to Brooklyn NY last fall and has begun guiding hiking and 
climbing trips for a couple of outfitters in that area. He recently was on a trip to Mount Washington that had a video posted to the Huffington Post.
