I haven't been checking tweeters lately, so perhaps there are many
messages to this effect, but my first real sign of spring was a
Band-tailed Pigeon in full display flight over the woods adjacent to
this building just now, first time I've seen that this year (and I'm
looking out this window every day). Of course the crocuses have been
blooming in our yard for some time, but I like to look for seasonal
phenomena among the native species.
