Was a little surprised to see the three (or perhaps four?) well separated pairs of blue-wings that turned up on a friend's crawfish ponds yesterday were still there, as his farm seldom hosts them coming or going. Couldn't help but wonder if these were considering staying through summer or just resting up.
Saw one pair of BWT and several black bellie whistlers yesterday in my backwater ride searching for Giant Salvinia on the local WMA. Happy to say that the February Freeze did a number on most of it but what's left will undoubtedly spread like wildfire when it warms up.
