Nature Notes: Noisy
One of the most noticeable signs of spring at my house is how noisy it gets. The brown thrasher below situates himself in a cherry tree and calls out for much of the day.
The shot below is the only one in this post which wasn't taken in my yard this week. I took this at a corner shopping area where I was struck by how just a week ago the same tree barely had any signs of new growth.
Back at my house I shot the male cardinal and sparrow having a chat in the trees.
My narcissus were bowing from rain but fortunately it stayed above freezing.
There are more and more days where the birds can get into the bird baths instead of leaning down for a drink in the cold.
I am starting to enjoy walking around my yard and drinking in each new sight, like the new flowers on the peiris japonica.
The titmouse below seemed to be debating whether to get into the water or not, it would have been too cold for me.

Hey, Carver! Spring sure is pretty in your part of the world!
The flowers on the tree with the flowers below are striking. I really like that and the conversation. That was a good catch.
Looks like spring - love the shot with the tree. Happy St Pat's.

I know what you mean about it getting noisy. We even have frogs singing already. I'm loving it.
It is getting noisy especially with the geese and ducks defining nesting territory...but lots of other bird sounds...You are of course ahead of where we are...love your spring...Michelle
