For the past 3 days, at least 4 golden-crowned kinglets busy foraging the brush at pond’s edge.  Melting snow has revealed dog’s tennis balls - chickadee perched on one, pulling at the fuzzier.  The wool roving (unspun wool) I ran to put out has been disdained.  The orioles will take it, so there.  And finally some goldfinches, missing all winter, also FOY purple finches 3m, 1f so far.  A bit of open water at last on the pond with common and hooded mergansers, 6 wood ducks, mallards and geese.  Hope the wood duck house gets occupied.  Happy Spring.  Thanks, Jim Block, for amazing spring photos…  Canaan (Goose Pond)
