Springtime in Texas

It’s springtime in Texas, and the weather is beautiful. A few bushes are in bloom; others are leafing out. Tiny wildflowers are in bloom across grassy areas.

We enjoy watching the birds wherever we go. A week or so ago, we watched huge flocks of noisy Sandhill Cranes fly overhead as they made their way north. Red Winged Blackbirds stopped here briefly last week and the air was full of their unique sound. For a short while everywhere we looked there were Cedar Waxwings. We’ve always looked forward to the arrival of these birds in Wisconsin as heralds of spring.
