A shapely Apple tree opens its blossoms beneath a deep blue sky to celebrate the coming of spring. See Trees in Bloom for more flowering trees.
This Pileated Woodpecker slowly approached from the deep woods. See Pileated Woodpecker for more pictures of this, our largest woodpecker.
This Yellow-rumped Warbler pauses for a moment on his way north. See Spring Birds for pictures of more birds in spring.
Spring Beauties are the quintessential spring wildflower in Indiana. For more of them, and other flowers, see Spring Wildflowers I.
Our spring wildflower basket overflows as we have even more to be found in Spring Wildflowers II. Here we have Virginia Blue Bells.
A Great Blue Heron wades across a meadow near Killbuck Creek as a spring flood sends it out of its banks. This Heron was having success catching something in the swift but shallow water. See Waterfowl to see more of this wading Heron and other spring birds.
