With local trails becoming snow-free on this warm day, my new knee and I checked out the Dryden Lake linear trail this afternoon. The trail was quite muddy and the birds scanty, but the highlight was a very handsome adult Bald Eagle circling over the south end of the lake, near a stand of conifers where I believe they have nested for several years. The magnificent bird then landed at the top of a tall, leafless tree allowing a great view.
And like others I heard my first Killdeer of the year.
