Spending a few days at our lake house at Canyon Lake. Was able to see the breeding pair of Scott's Oriole that has been coming to this area for a number of years now. Also viewed an Ash-throated Flycatcher out of the window. The Sotal Cactus surrounding our location is more plentiful with stalks this year than in the past years. Wonder if the drought has triggered them into action?
