Feels Like Spring

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Massachusetts

... on this warm winter day...
How indispensable our one or two flocks of geese in spring and autumn! What would be a spring in which that sound was not heard? Coming to unlock the fetters of northern rivers. Those annual steamers of the air.

HENRY D. THOREAU, Journals, April 15, 1852

Parker River: ... hellos...

Parker River: ... from feathery breaths...

Parker River: ... incoming...

Parker River: ... in harmony with the warmth of this winter day...

Parker River: ... feels like spring...
