Bringing Spring
Grackles usually begin showing up here in late February and this year was no exception. They, along with red-winged blackbirds, are a good indicator that warm weather is getting close. Robins generally get the credit for announcing the arrival of spring, but grackles and blackbirds perform the job quite well. The grackles will breed, nest, and raise their young here before disappearing again in late summer.

Three Strikes
Earlier this month we had three winter storms in a row in a span of about ten days. The first brought mostly ice, the second brought a lot of sleet and some additional ice, and the third gave us snow on top of the ice which hadn't melted yet.
