Dogwood fog

It is very thick. Most years, when the dogwood blooms we get morning fogs. The forsythia is also blooming despite having bloomed in early winter. Birds are singing all over but I can't see them. A woodpecker is hammering. A jay swooped past. A mallard pair is checking out nesting sites. The paper says blooms are two weeks ahead of usual but the mosquito control is beginning almost a month early.

All trace of fog burned away and the sun is bright. The painters are still discouraging feeder birds.
