As I sit at my desk writing this, it’s early December and the weather outside is grey, windy, and very wet. And while there’s a part of me that absolutely loves rainy winter days, I also look back with longing on the warm spring mornings like the one in late May when I took a stroll around the Turtle Pond and along the American River at Sailor Bar in Fair Oaks. I usually see a number of different birds on any outing to the river; but this blog post is focused on the lovely springtime landscape and the bright greens and blues of a day in May.
