Not a sighting, but rather a hearing: I'm enjoying the springlike temperatures this afternoon, doing some writing with the windows open at our farmhouse. I can hear one of the mockingbirds that I have been seeing off and on all winter (plenty of multi-flora rose hips and other fruit I guess...), who today has been singing up a storm up in our "North Lot" all afternoon. It's the first I have heard one singing since early Autumn. Checking the radar app on my iPhone, I see the aforementioned mockingbird-conjured storm is approaching.
