Is Spring really springing?

We have had a string of warm and humid days. Temperature records are being broken for afternoon highs and high overnight lows.

A sure sign of Spring for me is the Song Sparrow song. I also call it the Boundary Waters bird. On our annual trips into the BWCAW, we hear this bird's song all the time. In the BWCAW the song has another verse that it does not have on its migration through Minneapolis.

Turn up your volume to hear the song...before the plane noise gets too loud. The song his two 'tweets'...the first higher than the second.

The little flower garden in the alley next to the church does have plants breaking through already. When the sun is shining, you can really think it is Spring already.
