I'm off to a really spring climate, the Dominican! Woo hoo!!
I noticed today that there are crocus blooming in my lawn and
pussywillows out when I walked the dog. AND my favourite sign of
spring is when there's light in the sky when I walk the dog in the
am. I HATE when I get back from a week of sun and heat, and it's dark
and cold again because of the time change. Arggh.

I love this time of year when one does not have to venture far for
signs of spring. Three nights ago a pair of Great Horned
Owls started up an early dawn duet behind our house -- we hope they'll
linger to set up a nest. <br>
<br>
Grackles appeared yesterday, the same day I was entertained by two
male Hairy Woodpeckers competing for the attention of an interested
female. The posturing, calls, and displays of bill fencing went
on for some time, before the victorious male flew off with a
prospective mate.<br>
<br>
The first Purple Finches appeared today, though they are not yet
singing. <br>
<br>
I'm trying to not get lulled into a sense of warm relaxation, as I
know winter can return at any time, at least until mid-May.
In the meantime, I and the birds are enjoying the lovely spring-like
weather.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
