The First Sign of Spring in Cheshire, CT - NOT a Robin!
To me the true first sign of Spring is the return of the Wood Ducks, and that occurred this morning in my backyard. My home office overlooks some very tall trees, so I see some birds that others might miss. I was doubly lucky this morning that my oldest child and friend were getting ready to head out to New York City and had a fabulous camera handy to get some great shots. So once again, these photos are courtesy of HeyMagpie (I told her the photos would be famous before she returned)!
First to arrive was the female very close to the house . . .
About 3 minutes later, the male showed up in one of the trees farther away.
After a bit of conversation, the male joined the female . . .
Hope we get to see more of them this year!!
