In today's sign of spring, I saw a chipmunk digging in the birdseed under one of the hanging feeders. The grackles and starlings are back, and I saw a quartet of robins last week sometime.

In another sign of spring, DB was able to come in the front door after school -- he still had about three steps in an ankle deep snowdrift, but considering that it was halfway to his knees and halfway down the sidewalk when he left this morning.....

I saw the hawk today as well, although I don't know if he actually caught anything. He was perching on one of the birdseed hooks, and then one of the cats romped across the den and spooked him off.
