Signs of Spring

This cardinal may not look like a sign of spring, but he's thinking spring.



For the past week, he has been trying to get into the girl's bedroom window.



He has made a mess of the window, I think he seeing himself in glass and thinks it's another bird who might be interested in his territory. Most springs we have a cardinal in love with one of the windows in the house.




My sister-in-law had a crocus a week ago. I was so jealous. Yesterday, I noticed that even though the snow in the front yard is 16 inches deep in places, we have a crocus too.

If you just look at the crocus and avoid the snow, it's spring :)
