We're due for considerable seasonal warming any day now. Some thought they detected it back in February, but since then we have had a foot of snow and several -30 days. It's probably been colder than normal. Some years there is still some ice remaining in shadowed areas even as late as June, but the migrating birds arrive as soon as some ground is clear and standing water is available. Could be happening in two weeks.
Well... Now I'm confused. Should I wish you warm weather so you don't freeze, or cold weather so the birds stay away?
