Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Spring is on its way, I hope we don't have to endure too many more days of winter weather. Yesterday was nice and sunny and around 60 degrees today it is still mild but cloudy and rain is expected tonight. I am almost done with the squirrel carving and I have started on the relief eagle.
Yesterday I saw about 8 birds soaring overhead and thought they looked like hawks looking for prey, but a friend of mine said no, they were probably a bunch of buzzards or vultures eyeing some dead animal.  A group of vultures is called a wake, or a committee. I didn't know we had those kinds of birds around here. I also heard the sand hill cranes the other day, but could not find them up in the sky..
