As the title says...  and add to that, definitely Spring is here!  Saw this one on Saturday.  I also saw it dancing or dueling with a small orange/black moth type thing for a bit (whatever it was).

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

Nice shot! Looks like that one has had a run-in with a bird or two. I've seen chickadees try to take them down. :lol:
