I set out early this morning for a 6:30 yoga class before work. This being late winter, just before we change the clocks forward for spring and lose an hour of daylight in the morning, the sky was getting light.
Even though the ground is covered in snow and the temperature was 19 degrees F, I could hear multiple cardinals singing to stake out their territories, their songs loud and clear in the still, cold air.
The more fair-weather birds, including the robins, have been pushed out by the bitter cold air. But the hardy cardinals have stuck it out. They know that spring is around the corner, and they're letting the world know about it.
