First migrants of the season

Well the weather would indicate otherwise, but the calendar and the birds biological clocks say its spring.  One of the surest signs of early spring is of course the Robin, which I saw and heard singing from a treetop out my back door. I hope he doesn't mind eating old berries for the time being because the first insects of the season are still a ways off. His time will be easier to pass if he happens upon some fermented berries to catch a buzz from, which is not uncommon this time of year. I've also seen a couple of Merlins around the neighborhood and more and more Canadian geese everyday.
