In late winter there's not much color in the midwest. The ladscapes are fifty shades of gray covered by white. Then... Spring! Color returns, birds add both visual and auditory stimulation. It's great to be outside and not freezing cold. The first thing that I always notice is the return of the birds and that is the subject of this photo essay. Soon there will be all kinds of things to point a lens at, but for now I'm looking for birds.
