Today I left early as well so I could work a few hours before meeting the group. And I heard something in one of my flower beds on the side of the house. It was a chipmunk scampering around, so I said to myself it must be spring if they have come out in the opening already.
Another sign of spring was the dozens of Grackles at my feeder. Even though they are beautiful birds with their iridescent heads, they tend to eat all my bird food and they scare off the less bold birds.
The most important sign that spring is almost here are our plans for this sunny afternoon. I am very excited about going to Sunken Meadow. I can't wait for 2pm. I have my binoculars at the ready and the battery charging for my camera. We will have our list in hand of all the birds already spotted at Sunken Meadow, so we will see how many we can spot. We will let you know later. Until then...
I'm very anxious to hear how you both made out. It so exciting. Don't let these small signs of spring full you, I was seeing Robins in January, and February and I remember growing up they were a sure sign of spring. Everything seems mixed up in these last days.
