March is the meteorological start to spring, though the vernal equinox won’t arrive until March 20.
But the avian signs already seem to point to a change in season.
Both downstate Michigan and southern and central Wisconsin have had their first red-winged blackbirds return this past week.
While this is a tricky species to rely on as a predictor of winter’s ebb red-winged blackbirds don’t go far south and tend to come back as quickly as possible to pin down prime territory, sometimes to be caught out by a late storm it still indicates that bird movement is shifting northward.
