We got up at sunrise, and there were some die-hard ice fisherman out on south Lake Ida. The nights have been below freezing, but warmer in the daytime. I went out on the deck to take this picture, and the only noise I could hear was a robin singing, "Yes, it's spring!" and a Canada goose honking somewhere in the distance.
Then I got a whiff of skunky smell, which is also a sign of spring, when they come out of hibernation with warmer weather. And immediately get hit by a car. What a bummer. But this time it wasn't a skunk. Trotting along the near edge of the farm field across the road was a scruffy, little red fox, hunting for something to eat. They also have a skunky, musky smell. Chipmunks were already out, looking for food today.
