Slow Spring Getting Active

Weather has made it a slow spring in the swamp at the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest, but things are now more active, including us.  The part-time land manager has retired, the land manager position has become full-time, and the education director is also the land manager until a new education director is hired.  Hence, the dearth of blogs.

Here are some shots from the boardwalk over the last two weeks:
