What marks the beginning of spring to you?

To me Spring has never been that great of a deal especially here in California since we never have anything but a hot Summer. So this year since we have been living in another house. I did start noticing the beginning of Spring. Every night when I am about to fall asleep I hear this bird singing. It just wont stop. It just sings and sings and sings...  It's like 2-3 in the morning and the bird is still singing. So a singing bird ... = beginning of Spring.
