Note to self: Stop publishing entries at lunch. This time of year, there will likely be more discoveries by day's end! In this case... the first American hazels are both male-flowering (catkins are swelling) and female-flowering (those are the tiny dark pink tufts there). In a clump of shrubs, some are in full flowers, others look like they did in the middle of winter, with no signs of sexuality at all!
Speaking of catkins -- the best known of them are pussy willows, which are also starting to bloom.
And look! I finally got a picture of Sandhill Cranes. They are flying over in large numbers today; I've heard reports of sightings from several people.
