It snowed last night and spring’s nascent shades were hidden under a sky of lead, the cedars, green, cloaked by a blanket of snow white framed by tree trunks black. The swollen stream ran brown not clear, but the dogwood glistened shiny red and the Red-winged Blackbird flared his epaulets of scarlet and yellow and with his conk-la-ree! loudly proclaimed his territory in hopes of attracting a frumpy female who yet malingers in warmer climes.

Hello D.W. Rodgers, that bird will conk-la-ree! Until they attract their mate. Have a nice day my friend.
