Images of Early Spring

A pile of spiles await the maple syrup season in early March. Warmer than usual weather for much of the month led to a dramatically slower season than usual. 

The "Native American" tree highlights some historic tapping methods of Sugar Maples.  

With a mild winter, there was not a major "ice out" event on the rivers this year.


A sleepy Barred Owl perched near the temporary trailers in mid-March.
 A pair was seen and heard frequently in the area, likely nesting nearby. 


Programs at the Homestead Cabin started on a couple of Saturdays in March with some maple syrup programs. The regular Sunday afternoon season of public Homestead Programs
 runs from May 30 through September 5.
