Without a doubt the redwing blackbirds are back. They were everywhere in the marsh and everywhere loud. There were large flocks of geese and ducks. A small tribal gathering of crows wheeled overhead and the mourning doves were very active. The pheasant was lurking in the high weeds and a pair of Redtails were watching everything else. Life in the marsh was about its business in overdrive. What catches my eye? A dead bush lying on its side. The color was vivid and the maze of branches and leaves was fascinating. Winter is leaving and the signs of its passage are disappearing. Spring means many things but it also means the end of something. Winter is part of our lives and without it spring wouldn’t mean too much. There’s balance here and all that cold can often be surprising to watch and enjoy.

Ciao!
