Sure Signs Of Spring For Michigan?

 Here at Greater Michigan Timber Management we get excited when it comes to spring! Spring means more sunshine, warmer days, longer days, buds and blooms popping on the trees, perennials emerging from the ground, the creeks and the rivers running rapidly, birds chirping exponentially, those tiny little frogs pepping and more opportunity to be outdoors! Many say that their first sign of a Robin means spring is here, but in our backyard the robins stay all year long. I suppose the reason for this is the ample food that our backyard supplies in the form of several native species purposefully planted and allowed to grow near our home. However, when we hear the conk-la-ree of the red winged blackbirds and the roh-roh-roh of our Great Blue Heron who we refere to as Longfellow, and of course the honk-honk-honk of the Canadian Geese...those  are our truly real and extremely welcomed signs and sounds of spring!
