Charlie and I have been keeping an eye on the patches of Trout Lilies in our local woods, and today they were in full bloom.

Much to my dismay, I learned after lugging my SLR out that I had forgotten the memory card in my card reader on my desk. So iPhone photos will have to suffice.

We also saw some Wood Anemone and fiddlehead ferns:

Charlie found a black and yellow feather that we think is probably from a Northern Flicker.

Lots happening in our yard, too. Arugula, radishes, and volunteer tomatillos are sprouting, the rhododendron, forsythia, and tulips are blooming, and the yard is full of violets.
