The witch hazel we planted in the back yard is just beginning to bloom:

And we hear the pair of Great Horned Owls duetting in our back yard almost every night, their romantic interlude before they begin raising more young soon. And the robins make their robin sounds starting about 4:30 now, and the male goldfinches are beginning to get their color, turning from a dark olive-green to a lighter shade with yellow in it. Tomorrow a walk in the woods I think, to see what is coming up underneath the leaves.
