Signs of Spring?

White Stork (Ciconia ciconia), Zajki meadows, Eastern Poland In Michigan, we think of the return of the robin as a sign of Spring though I read an article recently that disputes that. (GR Press 4.4.2021) Apparently it is the return of the red-winged blackbirds, sandhill cranes, killdeer, song sparrows, turkey vultures, bald eagles and American woodcocks that signal the Spring in Michigan with their return. While I might see several of these in my daily life, the bald eagles and turkey vultures, while not unknown within a few miles of my house, are rarely seen. I am not sure if this is the case for the return of the storks to Poland. 25% of the world's storks live there but I don’t know if that means that people see them all the time, all over, like we soon will with the robin. In any case, Happy Spring! Image credit: Frank Vassen, CC BY 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons ***** https://www.facebook.com/groups/959629200718699/permalink/4451524068195844
