This was shot last year in White Rock, which is at the ocean, down at sea level. They are way ahead of us in spring.
I think it was in may, about a year ago.
I opened a new discussion thread with this photo.
Please comment on the new thread.
Let's see what people think.

Laura's pond as I named it. Old river channel on the back of our place. Good fishing? Yes! The ridge on the right leads up to or home above the river. The Quapaw and Osage Indians lived here in the old days. They took this sloping ridge down to the river. I have Flint arrowheads I've found all over and even old campfire remains. The Osage were a beautiful people with many men over 6 feet. They bathed daily and their range was the northwestern third of the state of Arkansas.
Wild turkeys below the pond.
Me our first summer on the homestead here in our Ouachita mountain retreat. Summer, 1971. So many times I walked out and tripped over a stump! Wonderful to finally have our own dream.

Finally nesting again
Years ago we lived on a different part of our land and a nest box I put up attracted a pair of birds whose identity I didn't know. Turned out to be Great crested flycatchers. We enjoyed them for years but then moved to the back of our place above the river.
Put up a box to attract the flycatchers but little success until now. They have a distinctive shrill call and hearing them lately made me do some repairs to a house I've had up for a long while. Only about 40 feet from our porch to the tree the box is on.
They moved right in and are busy carrying in leaves and debris for their nest. The box is about 12- 15 ft above grade. The hole in the box is 3" diameter and the box itself is about 5 X 6 insideand 8 - 10" below the hole to the bottom. Made of weathered barn boards. Finally got em' back!
Pictures are not the best but grabbed them with my phone, these birds are pretty spooky.
The female on the perch while the male guards above.
Female with a leaf to add to her nest.
In the box for 20 seconds and ready for another trip.
I have no idea how well known these birds are or if many others try and get them to nest. Their calls are so unique you can easily tell them. Their calls carry a long way and I hear them way down in the river bottom woods.

One more from Tennessee!
My paternal grandfather, Jarvis Franklin Jennings, his mother Elizabeth and several other relatives came from Lone Mountain Tennessee to Texas about 1900 or so. Still have relatives there in that county.
