What's going on?

Thursday: Noon

The magnolias are blooming, the Norway Maples are in flower, the Azaleas are out at Hernshead, the willows are that newborn-baby green you'll only see this week and next. Both pairs of hawks are sitting on eggs, getting ready [we hope] to feed chicks in a few weeks. This morning the Early Birders saw Ruby-crowned and Golden Crowned Kinglets and several Swamp Sparrows.

Guess what? It's snowing.
