The hummingbirds have returned!
The #hummingbirds have been late this year. They usually start showing up in mid to late March on their northward migration through southeast #Texas. They finally started appearing a couple of weeks ago and even then just fleeting, sporadic visits. Finally in the last few days it seems a couple of them are hanging around, a male & a female, making repeated visits to our backyard feeders. This is the male ruby-throated.

...and they're here!
This morning, I heard the joyful gurgling song of the purple martins, and there are 6 or 8 of them checking out the accommodations.

Looking a little splotchy this morning. I'm pretty sure this is a Male American Goldfinch in the process of molting.
Is this beginning of a new friendship?

The flower buds are still progressing very slowly on the redbud tree. And -- oh! -- there's also a female Northern Cardinal on that branch...
The house finches are by far the most common bird I see in our tree, and they’re also bullies at times (to other small birds and other house finches), but they are very photogenic too.

A female (or immature) House Finch in the redbud tree. The redbud is still on hold with cool days and temperatures below freezing the last few nights. Last night: 26° F / -3° C.
