We've had some unusually warm days lately.....40's when we should be in the teens and 20's.

and i’ve noticed some of the sparrows are trying to get in our wren houses!!!!! Do you think because it’s warming up that the birds are reacting with Spring like behavior?

I've had Daffodils peeking up through the soil in mid-February, but never BEFORE mid-January. Until this year.

Have seen flying insects outside as recent as 3 days ago. Mosquitoes the day after Thanksgiving.
