Spring was here yesterday. We went for a walk and heard the Carlos Avery cranes, they were very loud and active. They have been back for about a week. We also saw and heard quite a few robins, and at the marshy end of the road, some red-winged blackbirds, a few mourning doves, and some chipping sparrows.
Today while on an errand, I saw a flock of easily 200 ring-billed gulls chasing the wind and snow across the road and field. They were soon swallowed up by the snow and the gray day but what a sight!
