Signs of spring?
Feb. 19th, 2009 06:24 amIs it too early to start noticing signs of spring? Yes, it's far too early. As I told someone on the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
urban_nature community, the only sure sign of spring in Boston is the word "May" appearing on your calendar. But changes are definitely happening, and It's heartwarming to notice them.
Walking dogs in the pre-dawn is rewarded with a minimum of urban noise. This week we noticed the plaintive "Marco!" call of the chickadee in our neighborhood. This early bird doesn't yet have a rival to sing "Polo!" in response. Likewise we heard the musical owl-like singing of a mourning dove. In the spring and summer these common bird songs disappear into the din of others, but as lone melodies lost in the fog that formed over the dusting of snow, they were magical.
