Yesterday, Bud saw the heron up at Lake McKinley. I've been watching for him/her to show up at our pond. I've also been looking for the return of turkey buzzards - a sure sign of spring.
This morning, I saw the first buzzard, or, more correctly, turkey vulture, circling over the pond - the same date as five years ago. A year ago they were earlier, March 25.
And last night, when I was out taking photos of the full moon, I heard, for the first time this year, the spring peepers.
These two things make it official, now it is spring!
