Last day of March near Wilmont Ohio, near Amish heartland Rick P. & Griffin & Doug & I at the Wilderness Center after a planetarium conference. Emerged to the crashing pealing of peepers in full cry. Came down the hill in the dusking time and heard the peenting and chittering of at least 2 woodcocks in the fields below. Friday afternoon saw a turkey vulture (well the brown ones--I think they are turkey, not black) perched on carrion beside the road in 2 different places. Also hearing turkeys call beside the Clarion River every morning. Spring is coming like a bulldozer...like a herd of buffalo... Tonite in honor of the first day of April we are all going out to look at the supposed projection of an advertisement on the full moon. Wish we could see the aurora borealis that they are seeing in other parts of the country.
