If you’re like me, you’re probably itching to plant something, now that the weather is warming up. The snow is just about gone, except for a few piles here and there. Geese are on the wing, and robins are back, and my daffodils are just poking out of the ground. So it’s spring, right?

On October 8, I woke up at 5:00 AM; the second my alarm went off, I was up like a child on Christmas morning. On this day, which to others might have been nothing but an ordinary Thursday, I was going on a stream monitoring adventure.

The geese are honking and flying in V’s across the sky, robins are flocking up together, and Sandhill Cranes are gathering in groups in the fields. It’s something we observe every year at this time.
