When I stepped out of my door this morning before dawn, I heard robins singing. Spring is here! I thought despite the chilly conditions. And the robins didn't stop at my door, they were all over South Mesa this morning. More and more singing can be heard these days. Don't let them pass you by without giving a listen.
Wild Bird Center Employee Bill Eeds moved to Louisiana last week. I know many of you, as well as I, will miss him. Please send your good thoughts his way. Thanks for all your good work and friendship while at the Wild Bird Center.
