Birdfeeding

Today is partly cloudy and warm.

I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows and a fox squirrel.

I walked around the yard taking pictures. I heard what's probably a collared dove but I haven't seen any yet. I saw a couple of bumblebees pollinating flowers. That's unusual -- they tend to appear only after the last frost, and it's implausibly early for that.

EDIT 3/6/34 -- I raked some leaves off the wildflower garden.

Wild violets are starting to leaf out. In spring they carpet much of the yard in various colors.
