Spring Marching in

With temps remaining in the 40's and almost a week long rainy period, there is barely any snow left. In the woods on the south side I was surprised to see green where just one week ago there was only white. I really don't know how something could green up so fast. I wonder if somehow those plants just stay green underneath the snow all winter. I only saw one deer today from a long ways away on the west side. Also saw a Bald Eagle and another Pileated Woodpecker but they were both too fast for a photo. I just read that a Pileated Woodpecker will leave large piles of woodchips at the base of trees where searching for food and this last photo is pretty good evidence of that.
