Things Are Greening Up
Spring, it feels to me, has finally arrived here at the Cabin. Things seemed to go from grey to green in a matter of a week around the Central Texas areaa. Here, we are well over a month into Spring,and the green is only now beginning the dominate the color of the landscape. Some of the oaks are beginning to leaf out, while on others the buds look just ready to pop open.
First Verified Summer Visitor
This Black-headed Grosbeak was identified today. I mentioned seeing him in the last post, but wasn’t sure what it was. I found him in the iBird app. They migrate to Mexico for the Winter, so this is my first confirmed sighting of a migratory bird returning this year.
Lots Ado but Nothing Really New
Lots of little things going on keeping me busy, but nothing of note worthy of a post. Catching up from the past couple of weeks goings on.
On the critter front:
Chuck and Susu have finally woken up fully and have been scurrying about. They have been spending more time around the Shedroom than before Winter. I put them some seeds out today on the porch. I can get some good close looks at them now, with the hope of actually being able to tell the difference between the two (or maybe more for that matter).
