Here on the northeastern side of 1,920' Sorry Hunter Hill in West Danby we've finally lost enough snow that the Fox Sparrows can rake and rummage the ground under the shrub thickets, and of course they're singing lustily. Honey bees are out too! The Eastern Phoebe that's perching familiarly on branches just beyond the eaves of my workshop this morning seems in all likelihood to be the newly returned owner of this traditional nest site. My pond is still frozen, but the rotting ice is very mushy now, and I trust it will soon vanish, and Wood Ducks will be visiting!
