Is it Spring Yet

So it isn't really spring yet but I am not sure how you can tell. Maybe the snow on the ground for the last few days is a clue but with all the rain we had today a lot of it has melted. I have seen a few blue birds and cardinals in the last few weeks but while we were at Botanical Gardens on Sunday I caught this fellow in a tree.

Right next to him was this other little guy who had just finished eating some of the berries from the tree.
