Up early, left for a walk right after dawn. Greeted by a large group of common mergansers (I count 8). And then the birds started singing: cardinals, red-winged blackbirds,
goldfinches, chickadees, titmice, redpolls (mostly chattering).
It isn't "spring" yet, yet it's spring.
I noticed the titmice and chickadees singing as early as February 2nd. (Forget Groundhog Day, it should be Birdsong Day.) But now that the cardinals and red-wings have joined in, winter is on its way out.
