April is off to a good start, with 1.14” in the preceding week (average 4.39”), on the heels of March totals running 105% of average. Grasses are greening up and starting to grow; spring bulbs are sprouting, and early daffodils are already in bloom. Ospreys have returned to the area; other wildlife activity is normal. Pond level is slightly lower (think they may have adjusted the spillway in anticipation of the herring run) but still at a very healthy level for this time of year.
