Friends:



For those who may have been in doubt, I can officially report that summer is near. This morning I found half a dozen small house finches fluttering around my feeder and boisterously romping in the birdbath. They had that slightly puzzled behavior and somewhat unfinished appearance that mark the fledgling. They seemed to be having fun in the birdbath, no doubt ignoring the instruction given them by their parents as to the real purpose of the exercise. Summer can't be far away.
