Each spring I write as different species of birds have arrived back from their winter vacations. A few hawks first, then the turkey vultures. Ducks and geese follow the retreating ice and woodcock arrive soon after. The bluebirds have arrived and we are waiting for the last and most colorful wave the warblers.
Yes it is wet and dreary today but preparation for spring fishing trips is moving ahead. The cover is now off of the 20 foot Lund Alaskan and the annual spring washing started. Fitting out with safety equipment and charging the batteries tomorrow.
I think of fall as a big transition for me I switch from canoe and fishing trips in the mid coast to brook trout fishing and upland bird hunting in the North Maine Woods at Libby Camps.
