March 20th-March 24th, 2024 is Spring-SHUNBUN (Spring equinox)-10th KOU “Sparrows start nest”.
The season goes forward and SHUNBUN (Spring equinox), one of the 24 divided solar terms, has begun today.
The first KOU of SHUNBUN is about a sparrow building a nest.
Sparrows usually act in flocks of 10 or more, but recently they are often seen in pairs. I could see that they went in and out under the eaves carrying straw and ears of pampas grass. The baby sparrows seem to show their faces after mid-April at the earliest.
Spring makes us feel the cycle of life.
