Nelson County, Virginia

It’s official! As of Friday morning at 7:44 AM EDT, Spring is here. Our Mountain Photographer, Paul Purpura, found a Junco that is all excited about it too! According to National Geographic, “in the Northern Hemisphere spring officially begins at 7:44 a.m. ET on Friday, March 20, 2009—the vernal equinox, or spring equinox.” They have a really nice article you can read by clicking here, that has more than you’d ever want to know about Spring.

After the comments this morning, Henri Weems wanted to make sure we had an authentic bluebird shot. Henris gives us a little background here:

Paul & Tommy,
Here is a bluebird for comparison.
Blues are valley residents since they love open fields.
Juncos will live at either mountain or valley, arrive in late fall,
and will depart soon to head north.
When they are gone it will be spring!

Thanks for the pic and the info Henri!

Locally, it will be a fantastic Spring weekend with mostly sunny skies Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with temps rising to the lower 60’s by Sunday afternoon for highs.

It was a perfect start to the baseball season. Warm temperatures, trees budding, and a nice win by the Nelson County High School Governors against Buckingham by a score of 11 to 6.
