For me, Spring in Minnesota starts when I hear my first loons.
Today...I heard my first loon. It is a beautiful sound in my book.
The common loon is Minnesota's state bird.
They are sometimes a mystical bird and their call is haunting at times.
But, still, it is a beautiful sound and I know spring is here.
Hello William Feela
What a pretty photo. I wouldn't know a loon call if I heard one...but I know some looney birds!

I'm not sure I've ever seen a Loon William. I know spring is here because the pink dogwoods are blooming.
All I know about loons is... I'm as crazy as one. But, are they really crazy? I mean, how crazy is a loon anyway? Does that mean I'm not really crazy? Well, I think I just answered my own question, the last one that is.
Anyway...
I knew spring was here when I heard the peepers!
Happy Spring!
Bill, thanks for sharing this sign and sound of spring. A welcome sight I'm sure. I'm sharing it with my wife as well - she likes loons, too.
Good morning William. Yes sir Spring is in full form here. Just wonder weather, a good time to go play 18 and I think that is just what I'll do Sunday afternoon
Hi William. Spring has sprung around here too. The lawn was mowed this week.
Good morning WilliamI think you are lucky to have the loons and I too love the sounds they make.
Happy Spring to you Bill. We are finally putting the garden in today. By WE, I mean my husband is doing the majority of the labor and I shall supervise!
