Spring Comes to the Platz

As of Friday the finches have returned.  They're on the thistle feeders still sporting their olive-drab plumage.

The tree swallows have returned.

A northern flicker was picking-about in the yard.

If you step out on the porch  in the night air you can hear the distant peenting of the woodcock as they perform their mating display - the sky dance in the night  air.

The red wing blackbirds have formed gigantic bachelor flocks and are raising a racket.

And I can hear the pileated woodpecker hammering on a snag in the distant woods.

Sure hope we don't get a late season blizzard...
