First Bluebird

Late yesterday afternoon, I saw my first bluebird of the year. I spotted a pair slicing through the air along a fence line with sharp wingbeats before they veered out across the long swell of a stubble field—two blue sparks unable to be held in place by the expanse of a cloudy sky.

So begins our far-north spring.
