I went over to the Burd Run wetlands areas, both the Brookside Ave. wetland and the Burd Run restoration project park, to see how Spring is coming along. It's chilly and overcast today, and while there's some green around the watery areas, and in the grass there are even a few tiny wildflowers, things are still looking bleak. The water level is up, though; all the streamlets in the Brookside Ave. area are full to overflowing and the collection pond is full, and in the restoration project the creek has jumped its banks and flooded parts of the project park. It's been a wet Winter and Spring!

| The streamlets in the wetland are running over, much to the delight of the Canada Geese |
 |
| And of course Burd Run is full and moving fast |

 |
| This isn't Burd Run, it's the trail in the restoration park that runs parallel to the creek |
 |
| This is Burd Run in the project, complete with new rapids |
