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

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, March 13, 2022
Common Grackles, Quiscalus quisccula, are year-round residents of the eastern half of the United States, and their breeding range extends north and west into Canada. Their prominent eyes help distinguish them from other dark-colored birds.

I hope you have a happy weekend!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, March 2022

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b

I have lots of Daffodils blooming.

Some are large ones like these that I think are "King Alfred" Daffodils.

Others are small Daffodils, (name unknown) that often produce two blooms on one stem.

I have two clumps of Snowflakes, Luecojum.

I have only a few Hyacinths.

My Hellebores have been in bloom since our January Bloom Day. The earlier blooms are fading, but the newer blooms still have lots of color.

Wildflowers, Spring Beauty, Claytonia virginica.

My Spirea is covered in tiny white blooms.

Forsythia is a reliable early Spring bloomer.

Flowering Quince is another early spring shrub.

Ornamental Pear Trees are valued for their beautiful blooms, but their hard, tiny fruits are not edible.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
