I'm nor sure if this post went out without my name or not therefore the resend.
Yesterday the first Catbird showed up. This morning I heard and saw the first Housewren. Coming back from the garden I found the Carolina wren family hanging out on my patio. I got within two feet to one of them. Such cute little guys.
No hummingbirds yet but the Downy woodpeckers have been enjoying the nectar.
