Exciting that you saw white-fronts! Hope their northward flight doesn't get caught in a February blizzard. But another sign of spring was the cardinal whistling near the end of your video!

Bob, I love George Washington Carver's quote. Thank you for posting it. The quote prompted me to learn a little more about GWC. What an amazing person, way ahead of his times.....promoting rotational agriculture practices. I also found this.

2022, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed legislation naming Feb. 1st every year as George Washington Carver Day in Iowa.

I don't remember if she recognized him that day or not. The symposium at Simpson was excellent.

We got out our Merlin app to listen to the call - I have been walking around a quarry where there are lots of regular geese and want to listen to see if they are around here too. We have sometimes up to and beyond a hundred Trumpeters on the quarry from November until now.
