You cannot miss these tails. I remember when my daddy pointed out these birds. “Scissor-tailed Flycatchers” he said. There were two at the ponds today (in case you wonder why I go by to see the same 3 birds every day - it must seem anyway).
But for me there is always something new. Today? 4 Great Egrets, 12 cormorants, 11 pond sliders, a handful of ducks (shovelers), one red-tailed hawk (the first in a few weeks), 4 meadowlarks, and 3 mockingbirds. Oh, and first regular winecups I’ve seen.
Nothing is lost. They are always with me. [there was another scissor-tail in a field closer to my destination.]
One of two - first I’ve seen this spring!
There were two and this ones head was fluffy. Youngster? Wind?

On March 29th, I heard a frog I had never heard before - the Spotted Chorus Frog - here. I managed to record the call and it is reported. These ponds just keep surprising me. [Happy birthday to me!]
