Birds are coming back!

Yesterday, I went for a walk in Ajax along the lake with a friend. We do this a couple times a year and it was lovely. Cold but the walk was good and we walked for an hour which was good. If it was warmer we might have managed more but that was enough.
While on our walk, we saw hundreds of Canada Geese near the parking lot to the park. We have seen a few before but this was an amazing number and as we drove out more arrived. Who could believe the sight?
While walking, we came across a number of robins. I am used to seeing a few at a time but we counted at least 10. They seemed to be gathering. Also Juncos which are lovely little birds. Love to see them. Reminds me, maybe I should put some seed out for the birds. One lone dove, hope that the birds finds a mate soon or maybe the mate was nearby and I just did not notice.
Guess, this is a sign that spring is coming. Told the seniors where we played last night about the birds and one of the seniors commented that she enjoyed hearing about the birds. Nice to know that people listen to what I say and enjoy it.
