Spring Has Sprung?

Seem like overnight, some trees, not many, are showing signs of green. Los Alamos/White Rocks' altitude (7000 feet + or - 700 feet) and our cold nights (25F / 4C last night)...spring does not come early here. I stopped on the way home and took a picture of this early sign of spring.

These three pictures were of taken within 20 minutes of three different flocks. About 10,000 cranes winter at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico before flying north to breeding grounds.
