The Sounds of Spring


What signals the arrival of Spring?  
Is it a date on the calendar?  The temperature outside?  
The flowers that we see popping up?
It may be all of these - but it is also the Sounds We Hear.
I know that Spring has arrived when I hear the
arrival of the Red-winged Blackbirds 

This guy was FAR away but
I got a decent shot with my 500mm lens.  
Hurray for long lenses! 


No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.
