First Cardinal
I was at the grocery store early this morning getting head cold care supplies. We'd managed to avoid the worst of this spring bout of sickness so far, but it caught up.
The sun was just peeking over the horizon and I heard a cardinal in the trees. I haven't heard a cardinal in weeks. They're there - they don't migrate - but I hadn't heard one in the morning since the late fall.
There was also a tufted titmouse in the distance. You've probably heard one, too. Hopefully, now you have a name to put with it.
