Catkins can!

Alder catkins swelling.
Aspen catkins are getting inciting, too...

Also... What a difference a day makes... The red wing blackbirds that last week I heard but couldn't see, then saw a few... Now there are armies of them, epaulettes on fiery red display, yelling at me wherever I go.

Ani, I just found this amusing:
Think there were any hungry rabbits here this winter?


Which hazel is which?

Vernal witch hazel flowers... So diminutive and lovely, an orange celebration of spring...

Cranes came!

I recognize that the fact that those are Sandhill cranes is not discernible from the photo, but the sound is unmistakable... Welcome back!

Crocus

No more needs be said.  Well, actually...
Snowdrops, too.

Red wing black bird

Their calls pierce the chill morning air. First heard them yesterday; today they're downright plentiful.

We saw this perfect bird print in the snow this morning... So cute!
