After a night and morning of rain, the skies cleared to a beautiful late afternoon. Patches of yellow, rain washed pollen marked the ground. It did not take long this afternoon when the sun came out and the wind began to blow for a yellow haze to be present again.
It is really beginning to look like spring now with the azaleas, dogwoods and red buds blooming.
This week White-eyed Vireos and House Wrens have come in at the house. The wrens have spent the day checking out any possible nesting location. It is good to once again hear their melodic distinctive song.
After a slow and overcast start to the morning, the day ended up with nice sunshine. Late this afternoon the House Wren that nested in one of the bluebird boxes was chattering away. All of the little ones were out hunting in the underbrush with the exception of one. It seemed hesitant preferring to stay above the deep brush.
Unlike the nest mates who were busy learning to search for insects, this little one still did the wing flutter and begged to be fed.
