Forgot to mention yesterday, I had another American Woodcock in our woods. Exciting, but alas no photo ;-( I have seen more of them this year (three total) then I have ever seen before. Also had a Fox Sparrow and Northern Harrier. Neither seen very often anymore at home.

Welcome to Looking Out In North Texas. I plan to post photos and comments about what I'm finding. I have posted pdf files of my books. I have made available to all for free. As I find new stuff I will be updating the books. So you may want to download them again after a time. Lots of cool stuff to see and enjoy! So I will keep looking out and hope you will too. Thank you, Mary

Keep looking!
Internet is down
The internet device is broken at my house. It took forever to download the following two photos from grasslands on cell signal. So I will finish up the grasslands post tomorrow hopefully when the Nextlink person fixes it.
Keep looking!
Absolutely purty weather!
Ah, the temperature was so nice this afternoon. No breeze and 62 degrees, I could not have asked for better. Today's mission on the grasslands was to check if the Trout Lilies (Erythronium mesochoreum) were blooming.
Keep looking!
Three Sisters
This is the second part of our prairie scouting trip on Saturday. This is the Three Sisters farm. David told us he acquired the land in 1991. He named it Three Sisters for his three daughters. Nice name! The land was not in very good shape. David has been trying to restore it. He has planted five acres plots with some not so successful and some that did well over the years. It is still a work in progress. If you check the Ft. Worth Chapter of the Native Prairies Association of Texas blog, he said he will keep us up-to-date on his progress. Go David!
