This morning my wife Jane and I were taking our usual daily hike around the property, over the hilltop pasture and circling around the forested ravines. As we passed "Valhalla Falls," a 3-foot cascade in our deepest ravine, I remarked, Louisiana waterthrushes should arrive any day now." I like days when the magic works. Right on cue, I heard the beautiful lilting song of the waterthrush. Springtime has now officially arrived. First warbler of the season...
