Butterfly garden.

It's nice to see the return of the butterflies on the flowers in the gardens.  We are enjoying all the birds in the gardens also that have returned to nest this spring.  The towhee is sitting outside my window singing his song of "Drink you tea" and there are other birds flitting around looking for nesting sites and singing their songs. Yesterday I heard the call "chick burr"  and went out to look for the Scarlet tanager.
Such a beautiful red and black bird he is hard to miss. Dave and I are bird watchers and are happy point out the local birds to our guests and have suggestion for bird watching up on the park way or Chimney Rock State Park.
