Nice pictures and sounds of spring. Enjoyed seeing area where I was raised referred to by Larry Stone. I think the wildlife out where I live near Corp land supports Turkey Vultures almost year round. When the mushrooms start to pop are you versed in all the edible varieties?

We haven't found snow trillium at our place, but know of a patch upstream along the Turkey River near Elkader. Spring!

My husband and I were married on the first day of spring 48 years ago. Our herald of spring are the Kildeer. Thank you for your recorded sounds and pictures. Makes me realize I need to get out to the woods.

Hi Bob,

Indeed, that is snow trillion, but it's not common. It's found at Cedar Bluffs and only a handful of other rocky undisturbed forests across the state. I was out there with a Bio class yesterday and the hepatic, anemone and Dutchman's breeches were blooming too. - Pete
