I like the combination of a bird with the redbud flowers. So far, the redbud tree is just barely getting started.
TrilobyterThe #hummingbirds are back, or at least one of them, this male ruby-throated that came by last week and has been spotted a few times since. Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of them here as their annual #migration north proceeds.

I heard the cacophony earlier and they've already found my feeders.

It was time to put up the Purple Martin nesting gourds, but I’m glad I waited until after the weekend’s wild weather.
