Just about every time I pull out a length of lumber from the pile…

Fawn
During the annual highway cleanup for Lower Queensbury, I spotted what might have been another dead animal in the ditch. On closer inspection, it was a living fawn. This was likely from the doe/fawn pair I’d seen in the area. Not knowing if it might be injured, we contacted DNR. A short time later a ranger came by, determined it was unharmed and said that this was relatively common and ‘mom’ would likely be back later.
Checked back in the evening and it was gone. I’m keeping an eye out for them.

Return of the Jack-in-the-Pulpit
The jack-in-the-pulpit on the property has returned. I didn’t know that one could grow them, but here you go: via the Spruce.
April Paddle
With the river open and a diminished wind, it was time to get out for a paddle. Still, there were a few ice sheets to skirt around.
Activity is picking up on the river. During the outing I saw three mallard pairs, a trio of geese, a distant flock of waterfowl, a bald eagle and this beaver.
