A white April?Yesterday was April Fool’s Day, but it was today that we woke up to a white April. Winter tried once again to hold its grip with a covering of snow as the blackbirds are returning en masse, red-wings, grackles and some rusties. I can fully image their confusion this morning when they awoke to a white world. Wild creatures being what they are, however, they accepted their situation and tried to make the best of it. Fortunately the bird feeders here were fully stocked and it wasn’t long before the snow was black with birds intermingled with the juncos, chickadees and jays. By noon, it had stopped snowing, the sun returned and the snow began a hesitant retreat. A few fitful starts, but spring will not be denied and the birds surely know this. |
