Cardinal behavior suggests they have nested in my flowering quince, although the thorny dense tangle precludes my spotting the abode. Song sparrows busy themselves in the fence-row brush, building or at least deciding exactly where to build. And robins go about their singing business, ready to paste mud-wet stems into works-of-art nests.
It's eastern phoebes, however, that catch my attention. In my eye — and to my ear — they are the harbingers of spring. Three weeks ago, I heard the first, rasping out his name, "FEE-bee, FEE-bee," sounding almost cross about the effort.
Robins, only mythical harbingers of spring, actually stay here year-round, flocking to area berries. Phoebes, however, leave. Granted, they don't go far, only far enough to find bugs, maybe, given this year's non-winter, no farther than Tennessee. Still, their annual early March return verifies spring migration has begun.
Indeed, hummingbird migration maps verify their northward progress. These little jewels of the air arrived along the Alabama-Mississippi Gulf Coast right on schedule, the first sighting confirmed Feb. 25. Their northward progress from the Gulf, however, is moving about 10 days ahead of normal. (Check the U.S. portion of their 4,000-mile journey from Costa Rica, updated daily, at www.humming birds.net. )
The Top Ten Mythical Creatures...
A Bunyip is a half-dead swamp thing with a glowing trackball for an eye and floppy vines for arms. In fact it looks like a swamp is the last place this thing would want to get anywhere near. For starters swimming often proves difficult when you're relying on floppy vine-arms to propel you, but to have a large swathe of hair weighing you down....

Rick Perry: Caught in a Tea Party Spiderweb
A lot of it is mythical, such as the imminent Obama crackdown on fracking seen here, or Obama's apology tour, or Obama's plans to seize everyone's guns, or all those IRS agents that Jon Huntsman was complaining about in last week's debate.
