[Mnbird] Spring on the wing

[Allen Batt]

 The goldfinches become more lemony each day, Tree Swallows (spring on the wing) slice the air, and lovely gray and white birds persist in high numbers in my Freeborn County yard. Amid this junco jubilation and Chorus Frog caroling are Fox Sparrows, Brown Thrashers, White-throated Sparrows, Song Sparrows, robins, and a Hermit Thrush busily feeding. It’s a rare leaf resting on the ground that hasn’t had its butt kicked by all that scratching, flipping, and tossing. It’s as if an avian The Who were playing a version of “The Chicken Dance” while smashing their guitars.
