Yep, here too. There's a ditch at our "farm" (46 acres) that holds water. It had dried up before yesterday. 45 this morning but when it warms up a bit there'll probably be a chorus!

Along with the 1.8 inches yesterday,I poured out 2.35 inches this morning. Those trees should be good for a couple of days.
Yep, watered in good!
Carolina wrens are checking out nesting spots. Don`t leave your boots outside.

My bride reported one this morning with green twig in it's mouth.
Checked out an old mail-box that I put on the side of my storage shed. Got a three-quarters finishe nest in it! Wrens are easy to satisfy, they use it every year. Sitting on the screen porch right now and there's a bluebird calling. Started 4 new boxes yesterday to put on local WMAs. A way of giving back to places I get so much enjoyment out of.

Japanese cherries and tulip trees are blooming. IF the rain would stop, we might catch a fish or two.
"How high's the water Mama? Said it's 5 feet high and rising."
"Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain..."

Hey Oldguy, my Sandhills are flying East. You think they are headed to some kind of flyway near the coast? Or are they just trying to confuse this old guy?
A number of large flocks, one was at least 50+ birds. Love that sound in the Spring. (Not so much in the Fall.)

I'm still looking for Purple Martin scouts here. This is the latest in over 40 years of having Martins that they've arrived. The Purple Martin Conservation people's scouting report for Georgia shows them all around,I saw some yesterday at Kathleen,but not here. Hopeful they'll arrive when the rains clear out.
Keep us posted.

Dang, everything is starting to bloom. My tulip trees are in full bloom, and Forsythia, Quince, Cherries are all showing out.
Got my first red wing blackbirds yesterday. Pretty birds, but will eat you out of house and home.

If those are what make a racket at night near water they are crazy loud this year with all the water.
Guessing the bugs are about to come out with a vengeance, too.

What's a "Wood Frog??"
Is that what we call tree frogs?
Is that what we call tree frogs?
No. They are medium-sized brown frogs that live out in the woods. You usually only see them when they are breeding in late winter.
Two firsts for the year here today:
The red-winged blackbirds came back.
Peep frogs (spring peepers) are hollering. It's supposed to snow tomorrow night.
