I'm not sure if the groundhog actually saw its shadow, but if recent weather is any indication, it not only saw his shadow, it had a coronary. Yes, it has been cold and snowy.
So why I am I thinking of spring birding? Maybe it's because Sandhill Cranes have been sighted in Nebraska or that it gets lighter out every morning when I come to work. Then, too, maybe it's the announcement of new Kowa spotting scopes. It's no secret that I am a Kowa owner, so the new
Kowa TSN-770 and the even larger
Kowa TSN-880 were sure to catch my notice. As soon as I can get my sweaty hands on one and the
new Kowa TE eyepieces designed for them, I will be reporting back in detail. In the meantime, I will be waiting for the spring migration like everyone else. Come on, everyone, think warm!
