Spring is almost here

While it is actually snowing outside, last week on Thursday I saw the first Killdeer and Red-winged blackbirds of the spring. In the last few days, we've also had Greater white-fronted geese, Snow geese, Canada geese, Redheads, Northern Shoveler and possibly others aplenty in wetlands by the Home Farm. Robins and Eastern Bluebirds are everywhere to boot, adding color and texture to a drab landscape.

But the bird song....oh the call of the male Red-winged blackbird and the flash of epaulets, sure makes me feel like spring is coming soon!
