First Day of Spring!
« on: Mar 20, 2006, 12:38 PM »
Today is the first day of spring and even though we had a milder winter it will be nice to see the snow dissapearing. :)

A few signs of spring  already here are the horned larks and crows, just waiting on the arrival of the geese and then the frogs and the rest of the migratory bird life.

What are always a few signs of spring in your areas?

For some unknown reason we have got a bunch of brain dead robins that hang out here in CNY all winter :cookoo: :cookoo:  For me it is the return of the Red Wing Blackbirds.  Saw the first ones week before last.
When the going gets weird the weird turn pro.

Those spring peepers on the first warm rainy night seal the deal for me.

One BillyBono will appreciate..Rudys in Oswego opening...plus that grass knoll down by the college where the bikini's show up the first warm day.

Guess it's really after the icebreakers go through the river, and you finally realize you just can't walk on the ice any more..then it's spring...Esox
