It's the first day of spring but winter is always slow leaving in this part of the state. Through an odd quirk of geography even the south end of Barre sheds its snow at least a week or two before the north end of town. It's a combination of altitude and latitude, not only are we farther north but also further up in some hilly terrain. Normally by now I've at least seen a robin or two but not so this year.
I have much less time for bird-watching this year anyway, thanks to this past December's ice storm and the damage it left behind. As the snow recedes more and more of the debris becomes visible. It's going to be a very active spring and summer trying to clean up around here.
