Sitting today duck scanning at TVA Lake and listening to the calls of  
northward bound Snow, Ross's and White-fronted Geese drifting down through the  
low clouds and mist, I heard strident calls that I had not heard in a  
while. I jumped out of the truck just in time to find 4 Greater Yellowlegs  
flying right over my head, steadily heading north. Are they, the geese and  
Sandhill Cranes that I've heard overhead the last few days, pushing the season  
or as Leopold put it " burning their bridges". Ahh! sweet spring, now you can 
 almost smell it.
