Meadowlark, Field Sparrow, and Robin

Spring is my favorite season of the year because in spring nature awakens from the slumber of winter. Beneath the last blanket of snow, the grass is already emerald and after a long winter of whites and grays, early blooming crocuses startle us with their showy shades of purple or yellow. And spring is also the season of homecomings. Birds who have flown south for the winter return again in spring to build nests and start families.

Birds are wonderful animals, especially in the spring, because even if you can't see them, you can always hear them. Thus, when out with the dogs the other morning, my ears were graced with the songs of three accomplished singers: the Easter Meadowlark, the Field Sparrow, and the American Robin. Listen to what I heard and enjoy the beautiful music of these three birds.



Until next time . . . Keep birds in your heart!
