This morning as I was sitting in my den waiting for the day
to warm up a bit and get out of the thirty’s, I was thinking about the bird
walk I would be taking out Schad Road, and trying to anticipate what birds I would
see. To be honest the list did not
include the Evening Grosbeak. I think of
them as arriving later in the spring, more like early summer, and yet here in a
winter leafless maple tree along Elk Creek were four Evening Grosbeaks. I was
happily surprised, but a little confused.
It was the first day of Day-light Saving Time, but it felt more like the
birds had sprung forward a month, not an hour.
