This morning was bright with sunlight. As I walked along the street I realized that I was surrounded by birdsong. Though the temperature was below freezing, and snow still covers the ground, bird life had shifted into spring mode.
A few weeks ago, bursts of warm weather brought flocks of foraging robins. But today, the robins were solitary, perched high atop trees and utility poles, staking out their territories.
There was a wide variety of bird calls. I can associate only a few to specific birds - robins, cardinals, doves - but there were many more, seeming to come to life all at once today.
