Butterfly!

[tigertoy]

Spring is really coming.  Lots of birds about even though I didn't get out for my morning walk until well after 9.  I think I heard a meadowlark.  I think I heard a Carolina wren.  I was surrounded by a flock of house finches for a while.  I saw one phoebe by the bridge.  There were two yesterday and one was singing.  Best of all, there was a lovely mourning cloak butterfly.  I haven't seen any flowers; I don't know what he'll find to eat.  But the first butterfly has been seen!
