In the frosty pre-dawn this morning, as I went out to get the morning newspaper, there were two juncos under the feeders with the cardinals. These juncos were the first of season here. I have been expecting them for some time, since they have been widely reported elsewhere. And so, the season marches on. Both Carolina wrens and cardinals belted their songs through a still, cold (27 degrees,) otherwise quiet and rosy dawn. A beautiful prelude to the day.
