There's lots of ways I know spring has arrived at my home:
- gravel trucks start running at 6:00 am
- redwing blackbirds show up at the feeder
- tulips, iris reticlulata and snow drops are up
but best of all, the swans return to the pond! You'll have to zoom up on the photo -- they are the white blur in the lower left corner:
They stay for 3 - 4 days, and then fly off. They have been coming to the pond for 5 years now. When they are on the pond, nothing else is. No Canada geese, no ducks. I know they've left when i start hearing the geese.
