Birch seeds cover the snow this morning, speckling the white ground like freckles on sun-kissed skin.
The seeds have little wings and tails, stretching out like birds flying across the snow. As I stand looking down at the wash of seeds, a flock of birds lights in on the birch branches above.
Their song reminds me of lace somehow, a high pitched chorus sifting through bare branches down to my ears, and suddenly it feels like spring is arriving.
How fitting to find these two, birch seeds and birds, scattering themselves out along the world on the first day of spring.
Happy Equinox!
Yes, what fun to see so many of the birch seeds released this week and such an obvious source of late-winter food!

Your thoughts of spring’s arrival with birch seeds and birds enjoying those seeds has me smiling deeply. I’ll be more observant of our birch trees today, though the seeds may be harder for us to see with our snow (finally) all melted here in central MI!
