Yet another sure sign of spring…

Our latest warm snap continues, and it was 20° warmer in Estabrook Park this morning than yesterday morning. I could hear my first killdeer of the season today, and I’m positive that it wasn’t just a starling mimicking one, for a change, but I wasn’t able to spot it yet.

A sight that I did manage to see was this red-breasted merganser drake on the pond again.

There was also a fox sparrow singing beside the pond again, and this time he looked our way.

Finally, the beer garden in Estabrook Park had a sign posted this morning that said they “will be open Tue 12th & Wed 13th at noon,” in case that is the sign of spring you’ve been waiting for.
