When comparing Harzel's bud growth over the last month, I see a slight change. These little buds are about 1/8" long, so not much to see!
A Towsend's Warbler stayed at the bird feeder when I was outside. Its markings are quite striking. I think he looks to have a bit of an evil eye, though!
Well, I'm off swimming soon. Last night I had the pool all to myself!
The Townsend Warbler is a pretty bird. It always looks to me as though it is wearing snow goggles with that dark marking round its eyes.
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty bird! It's so nice to see buds starting to swell, they'll be opening soon...
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look like it's wearing goggles, John, and it seems to be a very frequent visior...well, there is often more than one.
ReplyDeleteCrafty Green Poet ~ it is quite striking in appearance although it is so small. It will be interesting to see when those small buds will open :)
Yes, it looks remarkably like a tiny bit of growth. I saw a twisty tree at the arboretum this weekend and wondered if it were related to Harzel. But alas, it was a weeping white mulberry.
ReplyDeleteThere's no sign of growth on my hawthorn, but plenty on the roses.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the warbler is a lovely looking bird. Flighty xx
