Winter 2013 -2014 is almost over and spring is just around the corner. Soon the cold and snow of this record breaking winter will be just a bad memory. I have not been able to get out much this winter but I hope to make up for that soon. Last week I spent a afternoon or "car-birding" with Randy Miller and today Florence and I were out birding again here are two of the pics from these trips. Both are winter birds for our area and I hope they will soon go "home" and our spring flights will be arriving with blossoming wildflowers. THANK GOD FOR SPRING!
