And this morning it was wide open in bloom, with more buds on the plant.
I am in awe of a Mother Nature that allows something this beautiful to be in my yard.
I haven't taken many bird pictures lately, but was able to capture this cute little Carolina Chickadee taking a sip from the bird bath.

I had to go look at the difference between the Carolina and Black capped chickadee because at first glance, they look the same. I better keep my eyes open
They are very similar and very difficult to tell apart. To make matters worse, I am just south of the border of the two territories ...... Black-capped are north of the Missouri River and Carolina are to the south. So even though in theory I should be seeing the Carolina, I probably have seen some Black-capped out of their range as well as some hybrids. But for the most part, the Chickadees I see have the very clean/tidy bib (black area under the beak) so I assume they are Carolinas. There are other distinguishing marks, but that one is easiest for me to see.
I really should spend some time looking through my pictures and verifying the species. I'm just thrilled they show up from time to time. Very Very Cute!
