More to come. We have some Canadians who overwintered here. And others who form big formations at significant altitudes flying over heading for Quebec and Labrador. A few Robins are back in central VT. Red wing blackbirds aren't far behind now that even the leftover piles of snow are sad remnants of Winter.

We're in full mud and stick season here in New England. Beware the unpaved roads. They're awfully "greasy" this week.
