Title: Sign of Spring?
Post by: Brian Bailey on February 08, 2014, 11:11:03 PM

One of the earliest signs of spring is the song of the cardinal.  I heard my first one singing his spring song this morning, despite the bitter cold.

Yeah, I don't think they're much for prediction.  They start singing pretty much as soon as they notice the days getting longer.  Still, it does mean that spring is coming... eventually.
