I heard my first crane of 2010 on February 16, and saw my first ones the following day. They've been cruising for leftover barley in the field west of our house. This is a definite sign of the coming spring. However, I do remember in the past that I've seen them standing out in a field with snow falling about them in fairly low temperatures, so I don't expect balmy temperatures to come any time soon.Our snow depth is still at 6.5" in the yard, and one icicle extending downward from the roof is longer than I am tall.
I haven't checked to see if my garlic is popping up through the soil yet.
