With the snow all gone and temperatures breaking fifty degrees it feels as though spring is finally
here. For my first foray I decided to venture out into the urban wilds of Alewife Reservation.
I started my walk with occasional quick showers interspersed with the warm sun peeking out
and making a rainbow. The air was full of birdsong from the flocks of redwing blackbirds to the
chitting of a single killdeer. In the wet grassy meadow by the parking lot a pair of woodcocks
flew off into the bushes, while in a nearby pool alder catkins dangled over mallard ducks
dabbling in the water with their tails up in the air.
