Just this morning I stepped out of my garage, mounted my commuter bike, and said, “Today will be the day that I hear my first robin.” I was right.

I heard it in the woods along the bird sanctuary that borders a portion of my commute. There is still snow on the path, and the loud crunching of it beneath my tires almost covered it up. The unmistakable sounds of a newly-arrived robin could be heard once I stopped my bike! Yahoo!

And we saw gulls, geese, and ducks all this week as they landed on the playground and soared over the lake behind the school.
