Spring?

There has been some talk the last few days about new birds arriving at feeders in the area.  Even with the (endless) snow and cold, the seasons are actually changing as longer days are joined by new arrivals and familiar songs not heard in months.
Several of us are seeing Fox Sparrows that have been absent for a while (though others have hosted them scratching beneath feeders throughout the winter).

The flashes of color as breeding plumage develops (we had an electric goldfinch yesterday) against the backdrop of snow also offer some hope.

Fox Sparrows indeed! One of our recent March snows brought lots of these birds under my deck, kicking up the ground and looking for excess bird seed that had fallen from the feeder up above. At one point, I counted over a dozen.
