Spring is…
birds coming home!

For me Spring is when the migratory birds return – Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Sandhill Cranes, Swans…just to name a few.
In my eyes, they are stunning!

They are stunning and a welcome sight I’m sure. 🙂

I love the Heron. They are very mysterious but so unique and beautiful.

It must be wonderful to see them all. In Naperville, the geese are coming back, a mixed blessing as they poop all over the sidewalks around the lake near our house. 🙂
I’m having WP problems today, so I’m leaving my link in case you have time to visit: http://sustainabilitea.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/weekly-photo-challenge-spring/.
Enjoy the birds this weekend.

nice racket though – better than silent snow. I am ready for the honks and tweets of the season!

I’m getting the honks at work…more of the tweets at home, without an internet connection! 🙂

The migration is a perfect sign of Spring — I love seeing multiple eagles in the air, or the Sandhill cranes in the fields.

I just saw three Sandhill cranes flying overhead yesterday! It was so cool. We have so many around the area where I live;)

Such a creative interpretation of this week’s theme. Birds are definitely on the move this season, gravitating to warmer parts of the planet. It’s always hard to look away when you see a flock of them flying together in the sky…you always think such birds are up to something 🙂

they are lovely aren’t they? The other day I was driving home from work and saw three Sandhill cranes flying – amazing looking creatures because they look a bit prehistoric – like a pterodactyl. so cool – i had to keep my eye on the road, but if i could have i would have followed them!

You’re so lucky to have seen age-old looking birds! That’s a sight you don’t see too often. As you were driving, I assume you didn’t take a photo…thought that would’ve been very cool. Birds always have a good magical sense of direction. No maps, no GPS, just a band of clouds and the sun to guide their way 🙂

you know spring is there
when you have to duck
to miss the moth
flying into your face
