Yesterday, we hit 73, the spring peepers and the toads began their mating songs. The woods are alive again.

My first sandhill crane sighting of the year, even though they were just little dots in the sky.

We were in Florida last week playing mini Golf, the big Bug almost landed on me, it was trying to get to the wall of flowers, I just stood still, it knew where it really wanted to go lol. I’m not sure what it is. A moth?

We also saw thes parrots, there were 3. We were eating dinner outside, my daughter said, it sounds like lucky or parrot,

Yes, it's a moth. A quick search shows it's a Spotted Oleander Moth.
I had just gotten nicely focused on this male scissor tailed flycatcher when it took off! But, even if it is a blurry shot, its still such an awesome bird. (Buffalo Lake N.W.R. - Texas)

Isn't that always how it goes? Seems like whether they sit for a few seconds or a few minutes they always move when you're ready to get the shot.

Went for a hike today. I didn't take many photos, but I saw quite a bit. Geese, ducks, and grebes were in the pond. I saw half a dozen turtles, too. I could hear toad mating calls in the distance, and on the way back, I saw two Great Horned Owls. One looked to be a juvenile. Tried to get a photo but they took off.

Spring time, here’s a starling gathering grass for her nest.
