In Philadelphia, the sounds and sights of impending Spring are all
around. Residents are singing, often dueling with neighbors in their
song:

| Northern Cardinal vigilant on his territory |

| Tufted Titmouse singing with purpose. |
The
Bald Eagle pair at Heinze NWR are well into their nesting, with hatching having occurred, or about to occur ...

In parks, ponds, fields, and streams, the
Canada Geese are in constant contention ...

The first migrants are beginning to appear, such as this lone
Great Egret ...

Through it all, the
Northern Saw-whet Owl continues to roost in the same spot at Heinz Refuge ...

Good Birding!
Such a pleasure to look at your bird photos, and I now realise that it was not any old heron in winter shroud I spotted the other week, but a Great White Egret. My European bird book does not mark their presence in Moenchengladbach in Germany, but I have photographic evidence now. ;-)
