Does it seem the bluebonnets are surging in waves this year? In early March, friends posted fields of bluebonnets online. We thought only two of our seeds germinated. Now, they’re popping up everywhere, including Mountain City lawns.
Nothing exciting comes to mind for a report back on the three avian nestings in nestboxes at my house. They hatched on the same day in three boxes. Should you look in on them, you’d probably see stillness to the point of wondering if they’re alive. At this stage, each set of babies stays hunkered in a single mass until the parents get close to the nestbox. By a week from now, the nestlings will be fully feathered and fledge. Amazing journey.
