And speaking of Red-winged Blackbirds, in our garden they are another sign 
of Spring, for their visits here are always brief and only during 
migration.  We had a small flock this morning.

And another happy sign at our feeders today, a male A. Goldfinch was 
beginning his transformation into his dandy summer duds.

Spring is creeping up on all this wintry stuff, Spring is on the move!
