Picture of the Day for March 28, 2017

The first sunny day in a while had the birds singing, which included some spring birds arrival like bluebirds and killdeers. So it was time to clean the bluebird houses yet and evict the squatters who moved in over winter.  And I had to remove a lot of field mice, although the males must have ticked off the females as most houses only had one occupant and I only found one couple. But I did have to feel a little sorry for some of them as one had a ripped ear and this one was missing a front leg so didn’t scramble down the pole when I cleaned the house.

The calendar might say it is spring, but it is more of a gray period instead with another cloudy day and the brownish landscape which has emerged from the snow. A field of dandelions would look pretty about now, even if people don’t like them, but bees love them. I like the yellow stage, it is the white seed releasing event that I don’t care for.

The birds were singing more on this warmer day as spring officially starts. And the ground and the outside house walls had plenty of flies crawling around so I could have turned my tree frog loose for an afternoon smack when the sun came out later in the day. And it must be spring as I spotted a mosquito too, even though there are no spring flowers blooming. I rather see flowers than those nasty insects.
