Wishful thinking?

Quite a few birds were singing this morning, especially when the clouds/fog rolled off to the west and the bright sun came out.

A number of Carolina Chickadees and Tufted Titmice were in full song. A Northern Cardinal started singing tentatively, as if trying to shake off the rust of a winter's silence. A Carolina Wren burst out loudly, singing arsenio-arsenio-arsenio. About 150 American Tree Sparrows were singing away, sounding like the soft tinkling of broken glass falling to the ground. A number of House Finches were carrying on as well. And, somewhere, a Dark-eyed Junco was singing loudly as if on territory. Sounded like spring was just around the corner. :-)
