Spring is here
If the warmer (relatively) temperatures and melting snow wern't enough of a sign, yesterday I saw my first sandhill cranes of the season. I love those birds, they are so dinosaur-like. A few years ago, I was at a metropark after dark walking with a friend, and they were coming in for the evening roost, walking all around us, and they are HUGE on the ground. Almost as tall as I am, and so unafraid they were walking within 10 feet of me or so.
