Hike this morning, with a fair bit of bushwhacking following new streams and interesting colors. Efts were everywhere.
Let's start with some fungi.

Next up: frogs, flowers, and ferns. The two frogs I saw in lake didn't look totally reconstituted yet. Ferns are still popping out of ground and unwinding, and there's a lot more flowers now.

@jerzone One of my favorite bird songs! So lively and bubbly!

Here's a closeup I managed to get of one of those little boppers. Silent, but fun to watch.

@DaleTrexel Troglodyte?
Looks quick. I never caught a glimpse of it, but it filled the woods with sound.

@jerzone They do like to build nests in cavities!

@jerzone was looking for efts on my run this am, after all the rain was surprised to not see any

@m750 Didn’t see quite as many on yesterday’s ride. Wonder if cooler temps slowing them down or they are wallowing in all the new water?
