Leafing Out, 2002

April 13, 2002

Leafing out in our back yard came a little late this year. A week ago only the small-leafed oak had leaves, so this week with its rain and mild temperatures has really brought out the leaves.

Today we heard a different song in the woods. Maybe it was this newcomer. It looks like sparrow family, but I couldn't find it in the books. I don't recall seeing it here before.
