Spring is just beginning to be sprung as I go back to my sit spot. The red maples are budding and the sky is dotted with the red clusters of growth and potential. The sugar maples and Norway maples are beginning to bud as well but not as aggressively or brightly as the acer rubrums. I have seen no amphibians near my spot. However, I did find a pair of coopers hawks that could be nesting directly behind my spot. This is the first and most exciting sign of wildlife and reproduction I have seen. There are no wildflowers in my spot but I can see fiddleheads all over the area, and I must resist picking them all and cooking them.
