The birds here certainly think it's spring. Mockingbirds claiming everything as usual singing everyone's songs, doves cooing, cardinals fighting and my pride; Mr. and Mrs. bluebird took up residence in the bluebird house I put up. I can see it from my kitchen window.

Our feeders have been taken over by titmice wrens and sparrows. They line up so close no one else can get in.
