Lovely!...Mac, I have thawing turkey and deer poop. Lovely!<br />Nance, saw my first robin yesterday evening - but they're not singing yet. Just to-day half of the back lawn emerged and so I guess they have some hunting grounds. Frozen worms, yum.<br />Kaye, it's way early. Sometimes we don't get this kind of melt until mid-April. But I'll take it.<br />Jennifer, Alejna, a lot of birds have a mating call. Jays have an amusing spring call; the harsh alarm 'Jay,Jay' is replaced by something that sounds very like 'Doink, Doink' and is accompanied by a body bob (and, no doubt, sly looks at nearby females).<br />Maypole, hope the window is now replaced and the birds that did it supplied with ice packs for their headaches.<br />John, I figure the geese are probably as far north as the Clyde: certainly the gulls are in Perth in numbers.MARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668392343139286753.post-53519957687677643622010-03-18T18:22:26.994-04:002010-03-18T18:22:26.994-04:00It's all good, if you can ignore a yard full o...It's all good, if you can ignore a yard full of thawing dog crap.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886049581948361060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668392343139286753.post-51739369579964554082010-03-18T16:24:44.114-04:002010-03-18T16:24:44.114-04:00Robins came way early here, and I was worried, but...Robins came way early here, and I was worried, but then the balmy temps arrived. Today, a downy woodpecker was hammering away, and the tree pollen is giving my allergy-prone students fits. I can see green whips in the spring-flowering trees around here, and the neighbors' tulips and daffs are sending shoots way up.
