Nature Notes

On this day of the Spring Equinox, we awoke to about an inch of Snow on the Ground, covering that Soft Tawny Brown of Winter and arising Watercolor Wash of Spring's Soft Green. Snow is expected through tomorrow morning. Where Spring seemed ever present yesterday, Winter is back. In some ways, I feel we are on a Teeter Totter. Spring is on one end and Winter on the other. While Winter may have plunked His presence down today, we can still feel that warm moist air and melt so characteristic of Spring.

And we have company. A Flock of Juncos were again dancing about the yard. And some chunky Cowbirds are hanging out in the Austrees and around the Feeders. Richard says there was a quite a "fall-out" of Juncos and Cowbirds last night. They were heading North and ran into the Storm System and landed. They will stay here for a day or 2 until the Weather clears. Having traveled a bit myself, this Human can relate.
