The thaw is on. The day got sunny and the snow is melting. On the lower elevations the grass was not even covered. Here the snow depth shrank from about 2 feet to less than a foot. Settling and melting and ground that is not frozen make the snow go away fast.
Fox Sparrows continue in the yard. I counted 4 at once today. Nice to have them around for a few days. A very nice male E. Towhee in the tree as I write. When I got home the Cardinal was singing loud and clear from high in a tree. I hope this spring snow is past.
Not that I want summer yet. Although I love hot weather I also like the change of seasons. An April with highs in the low 50’s turning into the 60’s in may is fine with me. I don’t like to see the leaves on the trees to early. Much easier to see the migrants when there are no leaves to hide among.
