My Sign of Spring

Everyone seems to think that when you see the robins showing up in your yard, that spring is near. Not me. It is when I see the osprey sitting on the nest at the Mariner. I know winter is behind me and I can start looking forward to changes that spring brings.

This year was a harsh winter. With all the snow and rain, I hope to see spring burst out in all kinds of colors. I am already seeing what seems a record amount of birds hanging out in the trees. Three new ones this winter.

I know there is more to see, not only birds, but all the little mammals that I have yet to discover. So while I wait in anticipation, I will explore each day. The Mariner has a lot of secrets that I have to fine. This year I plan to fine many more.
