Don't the birds know that there is still snow on the ground and we are due for low temperatures at night and snow is on its way. The ground is still frozen solid except on the south side of the house and in the driveway. The grackles and the red winged blackbirds have arrived back at the bird feeder. I have trouble believing that Spring is near, but Mother Nature is in charge, so what can I say.

Spring, spring, spring is here. Last week on Fri., we saw the first pair of sandhill cranes. Now, I think they eat plants from the bottom of the pond. Gee, I hope they will survive. Today, just moments ago, I saw my first robin sitting in the birch tree just outside my window. It is also snowing. Poor little robin.
