This morning at Berlin Pond, the highlights were a Bald Eagle and Rusty
Blackbird, towards the south end of the pond.  An American Bittern was
towards the other end.  Also, a lone spring peeper was calling.

At North Branch Nature Center, a Palm Warbler was hanging out by the river,
and a Green-winged Teal at one of the beaver ponds.  Blood Root, Colt's
Foot, and Beaked Hazelnut are currently in bloom.

Have a great weekend!
(and to those who observe, happy Passover!)
