It's spring...and we have snow!
Richelle Hunter
Happy Spring!! The first day of spring/the Spring Equinox arrived on Sunday, March 20th....On Monday, March 21st we're having a little snow!! Not surprising...it is still March & it often happens following the first official day of spring, that we receive some snow! We've probably been more than a little spoiled in our neck of the woods for most of the winter with less snow & warmer temperatures.
At any rate, the cooler temperatures have resulted in busy feeders! The Goldfinches are putting on a show, becoming a little more yellow as time goes by. The Red-winged Blackbirds arrive in numbers many days while the Cardinals are singing up a storm with the males sporting brighter red jackets! Adorable Juncos are still around, Chickadees & American Tree Sparrows are as cute as ever and Woodpeckers always provide lots of fun & entertainment! American Robins are more frequent around the yard, providing an early morning wake up call.
We hope that you're enjoying the sights & sounds of the garden....a reminder that it won't be long until flowers are blooming!!
Hairy Woodpecker in the afternoon sun!
