Have been out burning logs and brush most of the day...Several times flocks of Cave Swallows have come to twitter overhead. I do not know if it is the same flock or different ones moving thru..I see early buds forming on Elbow Bush in places, the first bluet, Spiderwort coming up like crazy, the amphibians are starting up in earnest. Saw that there is a colony owner in Liberty Hill that had his first Martin yesterday. Nuthatch city here addicted to the sunflower seed. Chickadees checking out the nest box...Spring! -- Brush Freeman Independent and affiliated Field Biologist 361-655-7641 http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas The greatest musician of all time is mother nature.
