The pattern of spring arrivals showing up a week early continues.

Yesterday I saw our first robin of the spring.  He was all by himself moving through the trees clucking.

Last night we heard a large flock of canadian geese fly over around 10PM.

This morning, 2 male red-winged blackbirds arrived at our feeders.  They were raising their legs alternately in the windy 10 degree windchill.  

As new birds arrive, the pine siskins are leaving.  This morning we only have 6 remaining from the flock of 120.  I am going to miss having the flock greet me every morning when I distribute the thistle seed.
