We need to keep our hopes and expectations reasonable here, note the spring harbingers, but not forget that it's still February with March yet to play out it's portion of winter. Wishing won't hurry spring.<br /><br />That snow-faced white-throated sparrow appears to have a real expression of mood and personality which I thought was great.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-62954864287237276712011-02-14T01:38:30.876-05:002011-02-14T01:38:30.876-05:00Your excitement is infectious, Grizz!

But if I was hoping the groundhog would limit winter to six more weeks, then I'm out of luck this year. However, seeing as how Groundhog's Day came during our ice storm, I'm thinking the weather rodent took a pass this time around and stayed in bed.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-84602987293118330772011-02-13T20:31:08.338-05:002011-02-13T20:31:08.338-05:00Several robins were feasting in our crab apple tre...Several robins were feasting in our crab apple tree yesterday.

Though as I wrote, I head (and watched) one singing this afternoon, it was not the full song—and was the wrong time. <br /><br />I'll know positively when I step outside one morning into the pre-dawn darkness and hear old Mr. Redbreast singing his swinging song from the very top of the neighbor's apple tree above the drive. <br /><br />Meanwhile, keep the faith!Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-2602588833287659792011-02-13T18:06:39.586-05:002011-02-13T18:06:39.586-05:00Gail…

I love it!<br /><br />You must post on your blog about the herons. You are blessed to have them…and six pairs! That's a small rookery. They are very vocal birds, with any number of sounds or calls—though none musical. Quirky birds, too. And you're right, heron-watching is great drama.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-77479878285876428422011-02-13T17:28:03.227-05:002011-02-13T17:28:03.227-05:00I am too Grizz!!!

There's been a great increase in birdsong here over the last week or so and there are six pairs of herons in the woods now - three more than last year.They were all in the air together this morning and it was quite a sight. The noise is going to be quite something - melodious it isn't but I love to hear them calling to each other, they have several different sounds and carry on regular conversations. It's as good as the theatre:)Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
