Today I visited my small creek and immediately noticed a higher water level then normal. The groups was muddy and had the texture of a full sponge. There were tiny spaces all around the creek in which water was flowing into the creek, second picture. This is because of melting of the snow and the increased spring showers.
I noticed a pair of mallards in the water, which might be the same pair that I noticed at the beginning of March. I wonder if they will nest here for the season.
My Red Maple does not have many new changes from the beginning of March. Although the buds are becoming more green and will soon become leaves.
