Have seen several flocks of different kinds of birds fly by this AM, all headed NORTH.....And the squirrels are slippin and slidin all over my icy yard. Hopefully a sign of spring on its way....
About 3 1/2 mths until GO time..............

the return of chipmunks is the sign to look for

birds return from down South when ground temps there RISE

but i doubt they realize that its bittersweet berries or Nuthin up here

I smelled my first skunk on Jan 31 st.:splat:

Look for blackbirds (not starlings) around the third-fourth week of this month. Red-wings, with a few grackles mixed in. That's not a sign of spring, it's just the first migrants from the south coming our way.

I use buzzard's as my indication.

I looked for a sign today, but a wall of snow and ice was blocking my window, so I didn't see much....
