Lovebirds and Valentine's Day

According to an email I received from the National Audubon Society, Valentines Day became a day for lovers because that was around the day it was believed that birds started looking for a mate and therefore, singing.

The group of robins that I recently observed at the Indiana Dunes certainly looked in the mood for love as they interacted with each other, and a few "What Cheers" could be heard yesterday at Coffee Creek as cardinals celebrated the warming weather.

Who knows, maybe Valentine's Day truly is for the birds?

Happy Valentine's Day!
