I was out walking the dogs this morning when I realized that spring in the U.P. is LOUD!

There were these guys with their tweet tweets

And of coarse these little hoppers with their beautiful songs

These little ones were EVERYWHERE in our neighbors yard

I saw (and heard) pairs of these guys swirling all over the sky, singing to eachother

And of coarse the incredibly NOISY finches

These big beauties are my favorite part of living in Michigan. They beautiful, low warble makes me smile every time.

And of coarse, we can’t forget our favorite bird of all, who provides us with constant noise no matter what time of year.

I know you took the parrot pic. Did you take the others, also? If so, well done! If not, it is still a beautiful tribute to the vernal equinox!
