  Spring is here

The redwings have been in central Iowa for over a week now. I noticed some volunteer onions poking out of the ground when I tilled the garden on Sunday. Trees are showing signs of budding out. Getting real close!!

I'm able to start spending time outside. I need it as the wife is in the 8th month of pregnancy and is starting to make me a bit crazy with all of her noises and such.

Hardwood, eagles are making a good comeback from their die-off in the 70's. I can't remember the exact chemical name that was wreacking havoc with them, but it was in the ddt pesticides that were used. Seems it made their egg shells very weak so the egs owuld break before the babies could hatch. With the chemicals banned, they are starting to make a comeback as the chemical exists their food chain.

The population is up so you should be seeing more of them. I enjoy wathcing them. 2 weeks ago, I had 3 (2 mature and 1 immature) soaring in the wind over my house. They were high up probably 500-1000 feet. Could just tell they were bald eagles. The spyglasses worked great on 'em.

We get them spending time in Central Iowa on their way back up north. When I lived in Knoxville, IA, I had to drive past Lake Red Rock every day. In early spring, they were hanging out by the road and I could often count 5 or more eagles there. Awesome sight!

Snowing currently here in central Iowa. Nothing serious, sticks to the grass and that's about it. Makes the black dogs look white. Won't stick around long. Pretty though with the flakes coming down.

Inlaws are supposedly headed this way today... stuck inside, maybe I should clean the toilet for them? Nah, I'll go out in the shop and grease something.
