Pics of the Day

We love this time of year when Spring is bursting out (bustin' here in Texas) and the Winter visitors are still in the yard and on the deck. Enjoy.

 Our resident Red-shouldered Hawk was complaining to his mate, going back and forth. When this happens, I have to pause my gardening and say to Jan, "the hawks are calling!"

 One of those wild flowers I have yet to identify. Two or three blooms on a weedy plant with strange shaped leaves. There's a blue you don't see in the paint store.

 Eastern Phoebe at the edge of the pond watching for whatever morsel is flying nearby.

 Northern Mockingbird out on the Lady Banks Rose, which is trying to decide if it will make one more attempt to put on a Spring bloom.

 A small group of Gadwalls came in for a Spring Break fling on our pond.

 Parting shot as I left the office today. This male Lesser Goldfinch is either working on his black coat, or it may be the 'green' variety.

 The Lincoln's Sparrow is so tiny, and afraid to be out in the open.

I call this one 'Gentleman Jim and the Painted Lady'. The suet never fails to
draw a crowd.
