Sweet Sounds of Spring

While I was cleaning up the yard this afternoon and taking pictures of the creek out back, over the roar and churning of the water I could hear the sweet notes of a wild canary or goldfinch somewhere overhead.
He's returned from wherever he spent his winter - all alone.
I told him that he'd better find a girlfriend and that there'd be plenty of seed in the feeders for the both of them to share.
I love finches and the songs that they sing.
Especially after a long, long winter his song sounded sweeter than usual.

I loved your spring blog. I just can't get enough of watching the birds at my bird feeders. I also have lots of finches. I have mostly red ones which I always have trouble identifying as to what kind of finch they are. I've finally given up and just call them red finches. Again... an enjoyable post. Thanks - Annie :o)

Oh so lovely. I could hear the sounds just reading this. I used to put out feed to draw the song birds, but the the black birds came in groves! I had to stop feeding because of them.
