Encouraged to see active feeding today, though I could not identify the species. Likely RBT and HSB, with perhaps some LMB as well. My panfish tend to arrive last in spring.

Two Canada geese, probably same pair we had last year. No cormorants! I did hear a couple of gunshots from neighbors, likely practicing (they enjoy shooting). This used to annoy me, but not if it keeps the dirty birds away.

Threadfin shad appeared for the first time in months, schooling in a back bay. Warm winter greatly enhances their chances of survival.

We had a good burn, really opened up a lot of jungly places. I took a few pics, including back of the dam. Hope to post in a few days. Water trickling out standpipe for the first time in a year, welcome sight. Maybe I can pump some water into my forage pond the next time we get a good rain!
