Monthly Journal – March, 2016

Mild weather continued in March.  It actually felt like Spring as we passed the first official day of the season.  Last month we told you we heard frogs.  This month we’ve been hearing them more and seeing them, as well as lots of tadpoles.

March’s photos include nesting birds, native bees and two butterfly species: Sulfur and Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.  Also both of our native honeysuckle vines are blooming coinciding with the arrival of hummingbirds.  So be on the lookout.

As you can see below, the Cooper’s Hawks are still here.  This one had just caught a Mourning Dove.

Early Bloomers

In Georgia, we are lucky.  With a little planning, something is blooming in our yard every month of the year – important to have something for the pollinators.  Warm weather and sun the last few days have brought out the blooms and the early pollinators.  The short video taken yesterday afternoon shows just how many and how many different kinds of pollinators are attracted to the plum tree in bloom.
