We've finally heard the sound that we've all been waiting for. Staff were greeted to the "conk-a-reeeee" of Red-winged Blackbirds at the Nature Center this morning. There is also a growing amount of insect activity outside the Center, namely, our Cluster Fly colony sunning itself on the building. Stay tuned for more signs of spring to come!
