I came out of the clinic at Maplewood late in the afternoon yesterday, and heard a red wing blackbird calling in the swamp and trees east of the clinic. They are one of the earliest birds back, a harbinger of spring. I hope they are not fooled by our mild weather, and get hurt or killed by a cold snap.
Tonight it is 7 degrees here and 15 to 18 below along the Canadian border. Animal instincts are usually unerring, but this may be one of those know exception to that rule.
