Spring is Here!

Today I caught up with some newly arrived/awaken signs of spring. Red-winged Blackbirds were singing all along the river this morning and a Song Sparrow was singing up a storm behind me when I took this particular photo. Canada Geese were all over the place and the Ring-billed Gull population has exploded since I was last out. My backyard chipmunk was out today for the first time this year and a number of chipmunks were also running around in the woods this afternoon. I saw a number of spiders and winter craneflies in the woods too and it sounded like love was in the air for Hairy Woodpeckers. Love was definitely in the air for a pair of squirrels that put on an x-rated show in one of my backyard trees! But tomorrow it will be back to snow…=\

Lovely shot of this guy singing his heart out. You really caught the red on the wings beautifully.

They are certainly welcome sights. Great exposure on this Red-winged Blackbird, Chris.

I see that spring has come to you, what a beautiful bird, I wonder if it sings as beautifully as our blackbird. V
