It’s Texas’ “second fall”

The live oaks’ early spring dropping of their leaves, especially on a sunny, clear day with a north wind, reminds me of a second autumn. However, as I’ve already seen three or four redbuds in bloom in Far South Lancaster, it’s kind of hard to fully hold onto that idea.

A reader who saw my bird comments in my latest column said some sandhill cranes are nesting west of town as part of their northward flight, and will be there for several days. I’ll get out there soon and hope to get a few pics.
