Photo of the Week: First Day of Spring Has the Maple Buds Blooming

Today, the first day of spring for folks in the Northern Hemisphere, has the buds on my maple trees in bloom.

After yesterday’s day-long rain showers and gray skies, I welcome our first day of spring!

I’m thankful for the bright sunshine, blue skies, and relatively warmer temperatures that had me birding most of the afternoon.

If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, how did you spend the first day of spring?
