They will be here until after summer - and leave just before fall. I always enjoy seeing them show up year and year. I did this sketch the first year I ever realized what kind of bird they were. it wasn't until we moved to the mountains that I saw my first one.
Winds have died down and I think a walk is in store today. We tried yesterday but it was way too windy at the lake. Spring in the mountains is a little irritating sometimes because it seems like most days are windy or heavy breezes. By the time we can walk then the heat and humidity sets in and the bugs come out at the lake but it's worth seeing the beauty of the forest around here.
Weekend is upon us again. Mine will be busy - how about yours?
