Yesterday morning, as I was standing by the kitchen window sipping coffee, I thought I heard a red-winged blackbird call. I stepped outside to listen and look, but found no evidence of the bird. This morning, however, there could be no doubt. A dozen red-winged blackbirds were waiting outside the door when I went out to fill the bird feeders today. Hurray! It’s official! Spring is here.
