But I wasn't that excited about it... so many people have been seeing them throughout the winter -- if they live near water that doesn't freeze, I think -- that they no longer seem to hold their status as a harbinger of spring. For that, we'll have to look to the RWBBs, which haven't made their appearance yet, at least, not to me... I am not a particularly good birder. A friend reported seeing them yesterday (Mar 2). This is why I like plant phenology, personally. Plants don't move, they aren't hard to ID depending on the light, and I can see the changes every day if I just bother to look. Much easier.
It is a crisp, sunny, sparkly morning, and also slippery.
