    Robins in the yard, Snows and Blues flying over the house, Thunder storm Saturday morning, and this morning I had night crawlers on the driveway. Most of our lakes are now ready for open water fishing

    Send them up this way! Still snow on the ground here!

    Although the tallest snow pile is down to just over F-150 cab high.

    We saw our first robin here in the yard Sunday morning and most of our snow is gone as well

    Not liking the rain in the forecast though.

    I dug up to transplant my antique strain of lillies and also seen the crawlers, nice big and fat ones. Drove by the dam yesterday and a couple guys were fishing with poles and you have too look hard to find any remaining piles of snow here too. I also seen afew flocks of snows and blues flying, a couple hundred in one flock. Also seen a flock of Canadians a few dys ago going over that weren’t local geese. Its supposed to hit 65 here today. It rained alot night befor last, all night in fact and into the morning with thunder and lightning, it poured at times and big drops. I was in the greenhouse and it sounded like someone was hitting the fiberglass roof with sticks it was so loud.

    The perch was taken yesterday a little over 14inches. I hope to have a report out tonight. I had to wade to get back to shore. My ice season is over around here

    I drove around the Oconomowoc Lakes area this morning. The river system has some open water on them. Won’t be long with more rain

    Turkey buzzards have been back for better than a week, killed 3 moles in the yard so far, and brought home 21 channel cats saturday.

    Instead of limiting out on channels you ate the moles?

    Heard my first robin singing for the ladies this morning. Yes, I have heard them chirping through the winter, but this was that crack of dawn love call. You know the one that soon dozens robins will be singing at the same time, at the crack of dawn in a beautiful aviary opera.

    I also saw a moth hit the kitchen window last night.
