Rooster in a tree
Do not, I repeat, do not,
Stand right under him.

My First Bird Blind
While at Pedernales Falls State Park, I checked out the bird blinds. I’d never seen one before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. What fun! There were two blinds in that one spot, each overlooking a bird feeding area. It was my first sighting of a Scrub Jay and a Spotted Towhee. I also saw a Cedar Wax Wing for the first time but didn’t get a photo.

In spring, mockingbird
Sings at night, looking for love
Keeping me awake
Wishing him good luck
In finding a mate so I
Can finally sleep

I thought song birds were quiet at night. Turns out bachelor mockingbirds will sing at night, looking for a mate. The wisteria vine on the fence outside my window serves as a nice perch for one such mockingbird. I hope he finds a girlfriend soon.
