I spent most of the morning in a local marsh. <--- not as big a turn-on as one would think.
Lucky for me it didn't take long until I was greeted by a sure sign of Spring.
This little Song Sparrow spent most of the morning with me.

WOW! The others are no slouches mind you, but the tail-up pose is fantastic. Go to the swamp more often! Steve
