They're Back!


One of the first signs of spring for me is to hear the Red-winged Blackbirds and about a week ago I was in James Gardens and could hear at least 4 of them each at the top of a tree warbling away. I'm not sure if they were staking out territory or calling for a mate but they were loud. I finally spotted this guy way up top singing. It is so nice to hear them back.

I'm still putting out lots of food for my feathered friends and rabbits, because it seems to be more like winter than spring here!

Our Redwing Black birds arrived about ten days ago. Yes, they are a sign of spring so I am delighted to see them. Our marsh land got its black birds back.
