Willy Nilly Friday 5, Sky Watch Friday,
and on Saturday, Saturday's Critters, and I'd Rather B Birdin'

1. Sunshine! (Sky Watch Friday)
Baldwyn, Mississippi, USA, March 16, 2019
The sun is shining, trees are budding, birds are singing!

Common Starling aka European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris

.
2. Good Food!
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, March 6, 2019
At Taziki's Mediterranean Café: Mediterranean Salad with Grilled Salmon - mixed lettuces with garbanzo beans, roasted red peppers, red onions, diced tomatoes, roasted pecans, feta cheese, and char-grilled Atlantic salmon. The pita bread was delicious, and I tried two salad dressings. The dark one, balsamic vinaigrette, was tart; the lighter one, a Greek dressing, was milder. Every bite was absolutely delicious!

3. Train
Lee County, Mississippi, USA, March 7, 2019

Birds and Other Critters, March 16, 2019

Saturday's Critters and I'd Rather B Birdin'

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, March 15, 2019
I often hear our resident male Towhee's two-note call, but yesterday he started singing a series of trilling notes - it must be Spring! I have not seen the female recently (both are rather secretive), but I am sure she is around here somewhere.

Lee County, Mississippi, USA, March 12, 2019
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!

Have a wonderful weekend!
