At the parking ramp, all of a sudden, several male house finches are calling, setting up territories, getting ready to nest, a sure sign that spring is here. I have not heard them from last fall. They may be early migrants back to Minnesota, or stayed here all winter.
I am curious to see if this means that spring is here to stay, or if these hormone-driven males have been fooled by a temporary lull in winter. I assume that they have it right and spring is early. Time will tell.
