I'm running a good week behind this year. After the last week and a half of being down with an upper respiratory infection, I haven't even attempted to get out to listen. The early time change will also be affecting the listening time before work. But I was feeling pretty good this morning, not good enough to head to to woods on a frosty cool morning but good enough to go out on the porch. I had to wait about 20 whole seconds until the crows got 2, possibly 3 birds fired up across the holler from the house. Shortly a hen or two chimed in as well. I went back in and got my 3 year old daughter and took her out to listen. When they gobbled the first time for her she got a big grin. I'm so excited. It's Good Friday, I'm feeling better, I got to hear my first birds of the year and my daughter got to hear them too. I know Freddy, Max, Diablo, GN and maybe a few others are already hunting but I'll have to be satisfied with listening for now.
