If you don't mind being awakened just before the crack of dawn, the sweet sounds of spring mornings are notes to behold. The song of the Cardinal is quite complex; just listen very carefully! It's lucky for me that my body clock is set for that time frame; or, I mightn't be so welcoming!
They winter over in our locale, appearing on occasion atop very snowy branches. However, they don't become vociferous till it's time to nest; and then, there is no doubting their tune! The sounds and smells of spring inspire me, for sure! I'm reminded by nature's alarm clock that my gardens await some attention!
Now, I must listen for little Chickadees....
