This is a bird note.

In the east, the liquid notes of a cardinal proclaim,

spring is In the east, the liquid notes of a cardinal proclaim,

Spring is near.

By March, Cardinals and other songbirds that don't migrate

are already singing heartily to attract mates.

And the full richness of spring bird song is just around the corner.

Many other birds will return north from the tropics in April and May,

announcing themselves in song as soon as they arrive in nesting areas. That makes now

the perfect time to tune up your ear to learn who's making those lovely bird sounds.

Cattail marshes will soon ring with the galloping melody of the common yellow throat.

The sweet slurred song of the yellow warbler will rise from the stands of stream-side willows and shady

woodlots will once again echo with the flute-like music of the wood-thrush.

Wherever you live, with the advent of spring,

birds renew the world with song.
