Spring is Here

I always love spring as flowers appear, the sun gets warm, and most excitingly, North America's migratory bird species return to our forests, fields and water bodies!

Last spring I enjoyed blogging about the birds breeding near my office at GLIER here in Windsor, Ontario in my blog A Tale of Two Species. Throughout the spring, I followed the breeding of two pairs of American Robins, a pair of House Finches, and a pair of Northern Cardinals. All of these birds successfully hatched chicks and made for a fun spring of office bird watching.

Spring is here again, and already a pair of house finches have built a nest outside my office window. I will continue the tradition (with another Charles Dickens-inspired blog title) of following the breeding of the birds outside the Love Lab office windows. Follow along also with photos of the migratory and resident birds I find as I explore this spring and summer.
