Spring must be on the way......

[Raven]

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.

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.
