The birds weren't very happy about last week's snow, but this week we are back to spring again. These birds are Wilson's Phalaropes. There are at least a dozen in the marsh close to our house.
Some swallows have been fighting over our neighbor's birdhouse, so we decided to look around and see if we could provide another one for them to nest in. We found this baseball-cap birdhouse that we bought at a garage sale a few years ago so we hung it up on our fence post. The swallows have definately been checking it out, but so far haven't built a nest.
The bees have been buzzing happily with all the blossoms out now.
Hope this ladybug doesn't gross you out. Anyone know what it's holding in it's legs?
