Walking in the Woods on Feb. 15

Kristen and I walked down in the woods this morning. It was very cloudy and it sprinkled on us a little bit. The birds weren't very active this morning.

I got a little excited because the first Purple Martin I've seen this year flew over. I also added a Tree Swallow and a House Wren to the 2008 list.
