Upon returning from 4 days at Nature Quest it was really great to see how full our wildflowers have now covered the ranch. We will need rain soon or they will all start going to seed and that will be the end of what has started out to be a great wildflower spring. I'm afraid with no rain forecast for the next 10 days, the blooming season will be short.

Upon returning, I heard for the first time in months, the call of a Bobwhite. Each time I hear one call, it is like a new day in my life. There is something special about some of the bird calls that stir my inner DNA - calls that are very special - the Bobwhite, Sandhill Crane, and Chuck-will's-widow. Soon after hearing the call a pair of Northern Bobwhite appeared under the feeder and then this male took a short drink from the Oasis. So glad they have returned. Maybe this year with some good green plants providing cover and grasshopper food for the young, they can raise chicks.
