Signs of Spring in Charlestown

After 18 years away, my first Spring back in RI has been a learning experience. I forgot how long a Winter can last (about as long as a Summer in Tucson).

My checklist has been filled for it being Spring:

  • crocuses are blooming
  • daffodils are ready to bloom
  • spring peepers are peeping
  • redwing blackbirds have returned (almost a month ago)
  • grackles have returned (today)
No pictures today, but check out the video above for the Spring Peepers (taken at the Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge in North Kingstown, RI)
