Spring 2010 first sighted
 

Just thought I would start a thread asking all,what have you spotted this spring already in the outdoors,or first sightings of stuff? I don't care if plants animals or odd stuff just interested.I like to keep a journal of things I find or do this time of year ,also a general area of the sightings would be great .

I'll start,
all my sightings where in northern Illinois
first morels I found(little blacks) was Sunday 4-10-10
first ruby throat humming bird was seen today 4-14-10
3-31-10 heard and saw first pheasant near my home.

After hunting hard for 3 days of the 1st turkey season, I saw my first kill of the year, a Jake. Fantastic weather turned into some of the best turkey hunting in a while. I couldn't locate a Tom so decided I passed enough Jakes to finally pull the trigger this 6:30 a.m. Great 3 days listening to them talk on the roost! Hens yelpin', jakes practicing there return gobbles, barred owls callin', coyotes yippin and yappin, etc. It's great to be alive!

Gotta love hearing gobblers this time of year hunter 57.I need to get a permit next year I miss turkey hunting.
