Enjoying the warmer weather

I’ve been getting each dog out for a half an hour every afternoon. It is good for all of us to run around (in my case amble around) in the woods a little each day. The pointers are finding a few woodcock but not as many as we hear on our walk in the mornings.  Each day the snow goes a little more, on Sunday it was well over my knee boots in the woods and this afternoon there are patches of no snow and it is not over the tops of my boots anywhere. The last couple of afternoons have been warm and breezy (nearly 50 degrees) after a cold and damp weekend it feels great to have the sun. I added pictures of both pointers to the page describing upland bird hunts. I think that the dogs make the page much more interesting. I am in discussions with the Maine Eastern Railroad  about the possibility of running a train and boat trip package this summer. It has been great to work on and think about the possibilities and see what we might be able to do together. At the very least, I will have a good addition to my nature exploration trips. More as the details are worked out.
