Yesterday we hit a very unusually-warm 74*, but after the recent frigid temperatures, it's going to be a while yet for spring here. We still have a little snow mounded from the recent 10-11" we got.But believe me, I'm ready for spring! As are all the birds, I'm sure. The daffodils have all emerged, but not flowering yet. Both my neighbor & I feed the birds- they feed year-round, while I mostly feed them in the winter, to help out the local residents without making them too dependent on me. I usually have robins nesting in my yard, but not yet. Recently, in the midst of the bitter cold, I saw a flock of robins, which surprised me...I normally don't see groups of them at all, just hunting for food solo. I enjoy all the various birds here, but I'm slightly partial to the colorful cardinals.
