This post has a definite Spring flavor to it. The featured image is a Wild Plum blossom – one of the first. For even more flowers I’m closing out this post with some Cottonwood flowers that are attracting the attention of the Blue Jays and Red-winged Blackbirds. Pictured center post are two shots of mothers (I guess) tending to their nests. Both birds here are in nests that were in use last year as well. I think the Owl is the the same one as last year but who knows about the Starling.
