Still pretty quiet around my place, though the trillium, blue cohosh, toothworts, hepaticas and trout lilies are blooming. Most notable bird on my morning walk was a Winter Wren visiting a previous year's nest site inside the upturned root ball of a huge cucumber magnolia (visible from Maple Avenue high on the south bank of the ravine, where the fallen tree lies across a small tributary ravine about 100 yards west of the Danby-Newfield town line).
