I've lived in the NE OH and NW PA area all my life. With the warmer weather we've been having lately, been seeing some birds coming back up north. What type of bird means spring/summer to you when see them back in the spring? To me, it's the red-winged blackbird when it's hanging on a cattail calling out.

I always liked it when I heard the red-wing black birds singing. I knew spring was here.

It's the return of the meadowlarks that signal spring here in south east Idaho. We have had robins and redwing blackbirds for weeks but the meadowlarks showed up yesterday! Now it's spring!

When the Loons and snowbirds (one in the same?) leave, it's a definite sign of spring!

When the turkey vultures return, I saw one this morning.

When the Key birds are quiet I know it's spring.

We have two mated pair of Mallards that come to spend the summer in the pool. They show up roughly a week after the trees begin to bud.
