Three different days now I've heard cardinals singing in the morning. Not the full-on courtship song, but recognizable cardinal song nonetheless.

Heard what the Merlin software on my phone identified as a Carolina wren's song yesterday. Had at least two days of I'm Almost Positive That's A House Finch Singing, too.

Saw a red-winged blackbird a few days ago, the real (as far as I'm concerned) harbinger of spring around here.

Grackle seen two or three days ago, and heard yesterday. WAY early on those. I don't normally see grackles until summer.

I may start doing International Shorebird Survey protocol sweeps of my local shoreline this weekend just in case the oystercatchers decide to come up early.
