Warmth returns

It got to just over 50 degrees today, and our Rufous Hummingbird was able to spend time catching insects instead of coming so often to the sugar-water. The Orange-crowned Warbler was absent most of the day making life a lot easier for Rufie. And I was busy all day doing client work and getting a root canal done at the dentist. I am so looking forward to going to the Valley (Weslaco and surrounding areas) for the Texas Ornithological Society meeting (begins this Thursday)!! It's a great way to add new birds to the year list, and maybe some rarities, and to see longtime birding friends and meet new birding friends.
