Even if it is snowing at the WTE nest(s), the hope for spring grows with every passing day. Thanks Lussi for this little "sun" on a grey day.

As there are no flowers in our forest yet and it is full of snow, I'll place here this nice blue palm tree from Fort Lauderdale.

Today it a very nice day for me. Really spring! The loong winter ended and we were out to look at some places. Sure numero uno was wte nestings. We had a look on four nests and only one nest was not in use (we saw the pair together in a tree hundreds of meters away). In two nests we saw feedings and one head of an eaglet each.
First we looked (without success) for an eagle owl nest in a kormorant-colony
first picture for everybodys spring

You can see the distance to the nest in the pine (or so)
Here was the feeding. Saw a few times head and beak of the eaglet (hope, there are two, but not sure)
Here another nest (observed). Heavy I think
On this picture I (maybe only) can see the little head (like a snowball with a little black dot )of one of the eaglets (hope there are two)
And this picture, like the first, for everybodys spring

Beautiful pictures
Yesterday we had another snow fall, but the weather cleared up, and we had a beautiful afternoon. The snow we got earlier melted, and took some of the old snow away too.
A little video of my cat, enjoying one of the first snow free spots, and listen to the chaffinches singing..

We have +17, but there is still much wet and grey snow in the forest. And skiers too. Today I saw one.
