4 The Love Of Animals

It’s not that far away now, but will it be in like a lamb? If the lamb is as adorable as the one in the photo, I think we would welcome it (even with the out like a lion part)! Cute of the Day: in like a lamb? I think most of us in the Northern hemisphere are ready for spring to arrive!

This month comes in like a lamb, unless you’re paying attention to fall migration, in which case the lion is roaring right now. October much resembles March in these parts, but reversed in polarity. I don’t know why I’ve done this to myself, but I’ve been working every weekend morning.

As a month, January is like March for birding, coming in like a lion as everyone tears into a fresh, new year list, but going out like a lamb as we gradually recognize how little bird movement really takes place this time of year. Try to overcome the urge to wait until the next migration; get outside this weekend!

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb and all that rot. Wouldn’t you love to visit Cape Kidnappers in NZ, where Duncan Wright has enjoyed sauvignon and seabirds ? What matters more to me is how this month comes in like decrepit winter and goes out like nascent spring, early migrants and all!

After a bit of searching, I found that it appears to be part of an even longer commandment: “Rise and rise again until lambs become lions” This is pretty serious stuff coming from a can of beer; all I wanted was a drink, thank you. The Bible, possibly, with all this quasi-Messianic, New Testament talk of lambs and lions?

Now that we’ve entered the third month of the calendar year, take stock: did your birding March come in like a lion or a lamb? My birding was positively sheepish during this busy weekend. Luckily, a Carolina Wren took kindness upon me by singing at my office window.

Perhaps the time has come, though, to retire the bit about lions and lambs. Who outside of certain parts of Africa thinks about lions during this time of year? In fact, is the volatility of this month even measurably greater at its start than its end in places where lions actually live free?
