I think it's going to come early this year. Don reports that he's seen trees blooming already. None of our trees are doing that, yet, but a few days ago I saw a flock of Chickadees, and usually they wouldn't be back here for at least another month.

And the geese around here are getting excited. There are two pairs which have been hanging out in our yard, and they've been fighting each other. Every once in a while I hear a major racket out in the yard, and one pair will have their necks extended, honking like mad at the other pair. Eventually one or both will charge and chase the other, and sometimes the other runs away and sometimes they fight.

One poor duck got run over. She was ignoring the geese but managed to end up in the way, and one of the geese ran right over her on a charge. By the way, it's amazing just how fast they can run.
