The first day of March was lovely. The last day, though warm, grew windy and ended in rain. Menacing clouds filled the sky at 5pm and an hour later melted together to rain. I was driving, not taking pictures. In the morning, the downy woodpeckers queued up for suet. Orioles seemed confused after starlings ate up all the food. Blue jays were disappointed too.
Brown headed nuthatches continued their steady depletion of sunflower seeds. A chipping sparrow wandered the patio looking for goodies. A junco did the same, but in the mulch. A bluebird foraged on the steps.
The gladiolus bulbs sprouted! A black swallowtail egged the rue. Turtles basked.
