Spring arrived three days ago.

It doesn't matter what the calendar says. I know it's spring when I first hear this being's call. That happened at 9:29 AM MDT on March 12th.

Some years he and his mate spend the winter with us. Not this year.

He's back this morning. I haven't seen him yet, but I can hear him. 

And I know, despite the likelihood of occasional snow in the weeks to come, that it is spring.
