Early Spring weather and a light breeze made for a pleasant walk, and we encountered a lot of migrating arrivals who cooperated nicely.<\/p>\n<p>A few Mergansers, Wood Ducks, Geese, Hoodies and Grebes were foraging vigorously and ignored us as they went about\u00a0 their routine.<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t pay much attention to social distancing, but that needs to change, I suppose. Still, Spring is coming and that&#8217;s good news.<\/p>\n<p>In talking with Graeme, I heard that some parks are being overrun with photographers who are now home from work. We saw several other photographers at Artemesia, but not an unusual number.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_43508\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
