It has been unseasonably warm here, and as a result, there have been hummingbird sightings already. That is unheard of for this time of year, they do not usually appear until the end of March or early April. As a result, the trees are budding, the magnolias have already dropped their flowers, and spring flowers are blooming like crazy.

I discovered this weird holiday that is celebrated in Ohio on March 15th, called "Buzzard Day". It compelled me to go to the Cosley Zoo so I could take photographs of it.
If you've been wondering where I've been lately, I've been over on Squidoo, and have some lenses published over there.
One is - not coincidentally - It's Buzzard Day in Hinckley Ohio!
Although it was a lot of fun writing about it, I'm sharing more of the photos here.
They have such odd faces, and despite the terrible things they eat, their faces look amazingly clean.
The way they walk is like something out of a cartoon!
