Some signs of Spring>FINALLY!

[MARINERMAGNUM]

Saw a great number of Fox Sparrows today. When these guys show up and are rippin' and kickin' with both feet,spring is almost here. It was 50 degrees today,so before the work at home started, I slipped out for an hour and got a few shots in.

Also saw my 1st Meadowlark [about my favorite bird] of the year. He was a long way off,so this is a 100% center crop. His legs are pink!

Great shots, MM. I always like fox sparrows. They are so cool, and you got some very nice captures.

But, uh, buddy, I thought spring ALWAYS came in Iowa the first week of March. I mean, it's not like you're in the NORTH or anything.

Very nice photos, MM! That third one in the tree crotch rocks!

I agree that third one is a great catch! Nice stuff MM.

Good shots. I have to go with the crowd favorite - #3. BTW, can you send some spring weather up this way, please? Even in SW MN, we are currently experiencing a 4 degree windchill. Blasted wind.

Really great images MM. I'm happy to see that spring is on it's way up. I'm with everyone else. That #3 is fantastic.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks folks.

I agree on #3,it was my fav. also-not so harsh lighting. Them Foxies are contrasty little smurfs.
