Environment:
Start Time: 9:00 AM Temperature: 45 degrees Sky: Sunny, light to moderate wind

A little cooler this morning with a very stiff breeze making things a little uncomfortable. Not many birds out and those I saw were having difficulty getting around in the wind. I, too, cut my outing a little short to get out of the wind. But I did notice that Spring is really trying to set in. Things are finally starting to bloom as demonstrated by today’s featured image of a Cabbage Butterfly on some blooming Mexican Plum (ID courtesy of Google Lens.) Pictured below is some of the ever present Rabbitbrush starting to green up along the stems.
