Texas trip

I offered this swarm of bees a nice new home in our beeyard but they gratefully declined. Something about snow...
This tarantula came to visit us and Bert carefully took it to an area with bushes. The next day our neighbour said he saw one at his site (same one?) and his wife said he stomped on it!!
Bert caught a fish on his first attempt at fishing this year and felt he didn't have to seriously fish anymore this year.
This female cardinal fell in love with herself in our truck window. She pecked at our mirror first and we put a bag on it but for days she tried all the windows in the area around us and was still at it when we left. I believe Donna had a similar experience a while back with her kitchen window. The male just sat in the nearby bushes and encouraged her. They tell us that she is trying to get rid of the competition in the area before she mates.

That's really sad about the tarantula. Apparently they are really delicate animals.
