More snow melted over night with the temperature staying above freezing as more birds have returned giving more hints of spring coming. The geese have been flying overhead while the red-winged blackbirds are singing down by my pond, even if the pond still has an ice layer yet. And while it is hard sometimes to spot the killdeer, their call has announced their arrival several days ago. Killdeers will display the broken-wing act when predators get too close to their nest.
