More critters, and especially birds, show us it is spring. I was able to use the Merlin App and the sounds are lovely. Friday, I heard the song sparrow out back, and the barred owl in the forest.
The robins hav returned, as well.
The goldfinches are switching over to summer colours! This one is sort of half olive green and yellow.
This was the backyard March 13th. All this snow has melted!
The red-winged blackbirds have returned.
The big excitements was spotting Fred Groundhog. I imagine Labbit will move out of the burrow. He's been digging under the wood shed. I've still wood piled up there. We'll see what happens.

I love seeing all the spring birds returning. You have a nice variety in your yard. The coyote comes around a lot. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
ReplyDeleteThe return of spring is really welcome here too — I’m glad your redwings have come back. We saw large numbers of them yesterday, with their quirky songs.

ReplyDeleteSo glad Fred is up and about again! Spring is so full of hope... something so much needed. YAM xx
You are always writing wise words, YAM!
DeleteWe have been waiting for the Red-winged Blackbirds but no luck here yet.
ReplyDeleteIt must be spring if the groundhog is waddling around! Love hearing the birds in the morning, you have a wonderful variety.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun to see Spring birds, your Cardinal is ever so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOur male robin was busy foraging for breakfast on the front lawn this morning. This afternoon he is looking befuddled as it is once again covered by a couple of cm. of snow! The sun is trying to beat back the clouds now so I hope he finds his dinner.
ReplyDeleteCute critters
ReplyDeleteIt's warming up, Spring time is here
ReplyDeleteSorry the videos wouldn't work for me but I did enjoy your photographs.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday and weekend wishes.
All the best Jan
Love your critters.
ReplyDeleteAwww so happy to see the birds and of course red winged black birds! They are so loud and fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, the skunks, possums, and ground hogs are all active now. Not fond of the skunks though!
Don't you love a cardinal in the snow? Three cheers for the red-wings!
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice variety of creatures coming to life this spring. Cute photo of the robin.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see the Spring birds returning. Your Cardinal is particularly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see everything going on in your part of the world. I always enjoy the call of the birds. I haven't seen a red-wing in a long time but I hope to get to the wetland area I used to visit. They are always a sight to behold with that splash of red and yellow as they fly. Glad your groundhog is still with you.
