A walk in the woods and the promise of more.

This morning I made a trip to Darrow Bar, a small Oregon State Park on the Willamette River only a couple of miles from my home. It was my first trip of the new year to this favorite birding location, and place that I also volunteer.  I have been holding off on going to the the park recently, waiting for the high water and snow and ice to pass. I went today to check-out the trails and of course count birds.  I was rewarded with a sense that the worst of weather was past, and the promise of spring was, well like some light at the end of the winter tunnel.
