The mergansers are back. And the golden eyes and the mallards. The swans visited a few weeks ago but the ice hadn’t melted yet, so they left. A bald eagle flew over our house. A cardinal has been hopping around the front yard and, near the apple tree, the first crocus leaves are poking through. When the windows are cracked, we hear the geese.
