March winds are blowing. How did the month of March enter into your life? Like a Lion or a Lamb? Some of my friends reported temperatures well below zero with lots of snow. The Editor and I experienced some non-Florida like weather while visiting Boone, North Carolina and saw blowing snow and freezing temperatures in the low teens. It was a chilling experience yet exhilarating at the same time. Today on the Broward was much more lamb-like with temperatures reaching in the 70s. Lush green marsh grass is sprouting.

The Bluebirds sure think spring is near. They have their first clutch of eggs already. They dive bombed me when I walked too close to the nesting box. The Brown Pelicans are still soaring on the river but will be leaving soon I am sure. Cardinals, house finches, sparrows, and goldfinches have been frequent visitors on the feeders. I even captured a few Robins heading north, another sure sign of spring. Whirligig-like maple seedlings recently covered the driveway. Even the trees know spring is nigh. The ground nesting bees have also arrived, so the east side of the house is off limits for a few weeks while they do what birds and bees do this time of year. Fortunately, the male ground nesting bees have no stingers on them. A wary looking grey squirrel invaded the Pileated Woodpecker nesting cavity, so the woodpeckers are looking elsewhere to settle down it seems. George Jr, the juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron has still been hanging around but let me know in no uncertain expressions he did not like being photographed. Very atypical for a millennial now days. I hope to visit some nesting sites nearby soon to get some mating plumage shots of the Great Egrets later this month.

Winds of change are blowing all over the world. In former times a certain man arrived in the world like a lamb and became the sacrifice we soon shall celebrate in the coming Easter season. I read the last chapter in the book about this lamb and it says He is coming back again soon, only this time it will be like a Lion! Be ready!... Blessings
