The last couple of days the birds have been singing more, maybe since the temperature was above freezing. But one of those singing birds was the killdeer who hasn’t headed south yet. They are one of the early birds to arrive in the spring and I wonder if they need their tails snowed on x number of times before they decide it is winter and need to leave. The saying about the robins getting snowed on three times before spring is finally here apparently isn’t the same in reverse for the killdeer as they have been snowed on more than three times and it is snowing again tonight.
