A little bird told me

 Am I getting great?

No, not really. Vicki guided me to the bird.

So Spring has sprung, the grass is riz

I wonder where the birdie is

- you know this?

The spelling of the word "riz" apparently can be traced back to 1494

- maybe not authoritative enough.

 

What about the "hand of man" in the following?

 Are these any better?

Does it bother anyone that these are digital photos, digits as derived from fingers, maybe?

What is the answer? Or perhaps there is not even a question?
