The Sounds of Spring Arrive

While taking our dog for a walk this evening around the neighborhood's pond, I heard four distinct sounds of Spring which I felt I should share:

• American Robins
• Red Winged Blackbirds
• Sandhill Cranes (9 of them flying North)
• Mallards (7 of them pulling up when they realized the pond is still frozen)

Signs of Spring checklist, updated, Red Winged Blackbirds spotted. Unfortunately my lawn still has about three inches of old dirty snow.
