Enjoying The Weather

March 12, 2007 on 2:07 am | In Nature, Seasons |

I hope everyone has had a chance to spend time outdoors on this beutiful weekend. Yesterday my wife and I walked around Wehrspann Lake (aka Chalco Hills). It was sunny, warm, and there was very little wind. I was surprised at how the lake was still frozen, enough so that many people were able to enjoy ice fishing. The Papio NRD has a web cam of Wehrspann. Just go to their main website (here) and click on Chalco Hills Web Cam. The picture is updated every ten seconds or so. It does look a little greyer than it really is but isn’t modern technology wonderful?
While there I saw my first Bluebird of the year. Cardinals are singing regularly now and Robins have just arrived in the area and taken up territories. I saw migratory robins starting 2 weeks ago but just Friday (March 9th) I heard my first Robin singing. I’ve also seen an insect here and there.
Small signs of spring but I’m loving it. More is on the way!
One of the things I notice about spring each year is that each phase passes rather quickly. Get out and enjoy it. It will be changing soon.

  1. As an afterthought I want to ask if anyone knows of any other webcams in outdoor or natural settings?
