The robins have returned! I heard their chirpy voices early this morning while I was outside in the sugar bush... sounds like about a dozen males singing that territory song. They came back overnight and the red wing blackbirds seem to have come with them- both species are singing this morning. Temperature is +3C. Sap is running a bit under a cloudy sky with rain in the forecast. There is still snow on the ground but it is very heavy and wet and melting quickly. The big pond isn't open but there is water flowing on top of the ice and three Canada Geese have been calling and flying around for two days looking for nesting sites. Looks like spring is coming back to Madoc!
