You’ve probably been seeing and hearing them already but all of a sudden they really seem to be adding up. The first osprey was sighted in Falmouth, spring peepers have been heard even on the lower Cape and earthworms are done with their hibernation, making the newly arrived robins very happy. Song sparrows are singing and many other birds are setting up territories.
I’m off the the Cape Cod Natural History Conference at the college today but please add your favorite signs of spring to the comments section.
