Birds are back

We got a slight break from winter weather here in the past few days -- leading the birds to bloom into the landscape, searching out nesting sites, pecking at the seeds and generally being much more visible.  A hoot owl's been hooting almost continuously since last night.  And I saw Indigo
Bunting in the field two days ago -- about as bright and glowing a color as one can see in the mountains.
