It got up to 59 here today. The low last night was 32. That is the highest low we have had in 5-6 months. We have a good melt going. I would guess the ice will start out tomorrow on the sloughs. I took the old dog for a run and he can still find a coon even if it was a dink. I saw two whooping cranes today too. Mallards and pintails are the only ducks I have seen so far.

Looks nice to see the ground. LOL Coons and skunks been moving a lot here. I just about stepped on a big bull snake today. It was a big one! It was laying right under a single 2 inch piece of pipe laid right in the shade of the pipe. LOL

We have a good melt going here too. It's amazing what a couple of nice days will do to the snow pack.

That coon was out during the day. I would have never seen it. The dog smelled it and went after it. It may have got flooded out of a culvert. There is a lot of water running. It is running across the road north of the house. I saw two Whooping cranes today too. I still have drifts in the trees that are 3-4 foot tall. So it will be a few days until it is all gone. But it is going fast. I was ready for a melt.

The snow went fast here the last couple of days. Even saw a couple barn swallows and a couple tree swallows today, although I have no idea what they are eating, the flying insects won't be out for at least a couple weeks yet.

bucksnbears It was almost warm enough to drink some of my homemade beer I mark "friends and relatives"
J.Morse the whoopers were sitting on the gravel road I live on. I was headed to town to get gas for the ATV. They flew west off the road and then started circling to gain elevation drifting north. I was headed north and they were keeping up almost while circling. I called them in. I see some pretty much ever year. Mostly in the fall and often with sand hills.
I would bet the slough below the house came up close to 2 feet today with the melt. Chicken coupe is flooded. I will move some dirt once it dries out some. A lot of snow melted today, but there is plenty to go in the trees.
