On a 60+(!) degree day in southeastern Michigan in mid-march I heard wood and chorus frogs already flirting. Turkey vultures are scanning the ground (though I don't know if they migrate or not) and birdsong is definitely more varied today. Additionally, in a small sandpit pond by my hollow, I spotted several different species of aquatic insects and...a small brown-green leech clinging to a torn leaf beneath the surface of the water. I hope this weather is an anomaly and not the presage of a slow (relatively speaking) decline in quiet, white winters. Screw you, sun worshippers, you'll get your days in a few weeks regardless.
