This morning, however, I ended up.braving the cold and strolling the property with camera in hand. By the time I got to the second acre, I spotted the pair of bluebirds at the staghorn sumac berries. I started taking photos...that is when I noticed other species there as well--at least one that I did not recognize. (It ended up being an Eastern kingbird--thanks to a quick Internet search.)
Aside from the birds (which was a huge highlight), I enjoyed being surrounded by a greening world, several trees leafing out, the serviceberry still blooming, birds singing, the sun streaming down...and...snow blowing around as it fell--not what I expected, well into May--but it made for an almost magical moment.
Now, spring can resume. (Another day or two with lows near freezing, but then it should warm up again.)
Quite a lot of photos from today...
