Spring Migration Begins, Dogwoods in Bloom

April 3rd, 2008

The spring bird migration has started in Middle Alabamaland. The ruby-throated hummingbirds are here, along with the gold finches. But I couldn’t resist the image of this male house finch [carpodacus mexicanus] perching in a dogwood tree in full bloom. The garden is mostly planted, except for a few more tomato plants we are importing from Sand Mountain.
