Saw a baby LEGO over here this afternoon on our water saucer.
I never raise an eyebrow if a species seems earlier than usual any more b/c
of climate change.
This year our box in the arbor was nested by a Bewick's Wren pair. Mom is
sitting on eggs.
Since we are minus the snake that was hanging out in our cable box last year
a few feet away, we expect to have baby wrens and plenty more Texas spiny
lizards and Green anoles this year.
Please don't kick me out for asking non-aviary questions, but does anyone
know why tarantulas are so fragile? Very few of the ones around here live
into adulthood.

Hi Texbirds,
For the last 10 minutes I have been watching two profusely begging fledgling
Lesser Goldfinches in pursuit of an adult female LEGO. They follow her as
she perches in the dead tree outside my window, feeds at the sunflower
feeder, or drinks from the hanging birdbath, all the while pleading for her
attention. She is very good at ignoring them, which makes me think they are
not recent fledges.
Fledgling LEGOs on April 4...is that early?
