Insufficient rainfall & extremely high temps are wreaking havoc on everything. Fewer birds are seen. Seeing different butterflies: giant swallowtails, diana frittilaries, skippers. Daffodils already bloomed & gone. Trees leafing out. Ground moisture is mostly gone. Creeks low. Some bees in my yard. Azaleas got frozen during the 3 nights of freezing temps. Prescribed burns in area.
