Early Spring

 

 

 

Weekend of April 2-3, 2016

Spring is in the air.

 

 

 Notice the green leaves on the trees at the foot of Old Rag.

 

 

 The seasonal Rangers are starting back to work.   Stephanie is new to the Old Rag contact station.

 

 

 I saw my first Tiger Swallowtail of 2016.

 

 

The Red Buds were blooming.   I had an old timer tell me that when Red Buds bloom it is a good sign that the snakes will be exiting their hibernaculum. 

 

 My first bear sighting of 2016.

 

 

 Old Rag from Weakley Fire Road.
