Spring, at least in these parts, is busting out all over. That means lots of blossoms and lots of birds. This time of year, even Mondays look pretty good. We all pick up certain phenological signs of seasonal shifts; around here, calling Killdeer usher in the sweeter half of spring. Now that I’ve heard one, I’m willing to believe winter is (almost) over.

This year has been very wet and the local birds have taken advantage of the situation. Not only have the Magpie-larks been busy building their mud nests and the Tawny Frogmouths been breeding at the supermarket car park, but other birds arrived and started to breed. Magpie Geese arrived in the Broome area and bred close to the main highway and have now moved off to deeper water.
