Spring?
 

I just noticed that there is an unusual amount of birds outside, chirping
away.
Is that a sign of an early spring?

No, it is a sign of a "false spring", where the weather is perfect, you
think winter is over, and then you get hit with one of the worst cold
spells, ice storms or snow storms you can easily remember.

You heard it here first.

Perhaps, but I'm thinking it's more a sign that the birds are freakin'
stupid.

There's still snow on the ground for pete's sake. :)

Speaking of boids...

I had quite the collection at the boid feeder this morning including a
bunch of male and female Cardinals.

I means Al Gore is someplace within flying distance and all the birds left
to avoid freezing to death.

I think the robins in my yard last month was another sign! The goldfinch
haven't changed colors yet, so summer's not here.

The cardinals stay all winter if you keep food in the feeder. They love
black oil sunflower seeds. There are few sights prettier than a bright red
daddy cardinal back dropped by snow.

Robins have been in the yard for weeks - Cardinals and squirrels all
over the place.

Well, the hummingbirds haven't made it across the Gulf yet, but in another
week or two.

For the past several years I've been following their northward migration.
Silly, I know, but it makes me feel warmer.

This is unreal! I got up at 7am to find about 1/4 inch of sleet on the
ground. Now we've got almost five inches of snow. What a surprise!

I had to make an emergency trip to the store to get the fixin's for chili.
