It’s that seasonal transition, when winter persists in small ways even as we welcome growing warmth, singing robins, spring peepers, and crocuses. Today we opened a window to hear the first-of-year White-throated Sparrow singing in the backyard, and later, in a crabapple in a downtown park, enjoyed a lingering flock of Bohemian Waxwings, a winter-only visitor that actually nests far north of here.
