Last weekend’s snowstorm was annoying in every way except one. The snow provided proof that winter was over, and summer had begun. How do I know? A little bird told me. Since January, there has been a steady number of birds flitting into my yard, scavenging on and under my bird feeders. They are especially easy to see and tally on a white blanket of fresh slush. This week, a fox sparrow joined them — a sure sign that the early wave of spring migrants was underway. Spring is here. Please, no more snow. ~ Bob Duchesne
