Title: Early spring?
Post by: spurman on February 06, 2012, 03:39:51 PM
So far this is a mild winter for us. Been around for a while and this is the earliest daffodils have ever bloomed around here. They started blooming Jan. 31 and I took this pictur today.I  had lunch out on the deck today, wife was working in the yard in a short sleeve shirt, birds singing I just bet we get hit hard later this month.

Been warm here. Temps are expected to hover in the high 30's to mid 40's till next week.
I agree with everyone else. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop. However, if we get an early spring, that's gonna really suck for May turkey season...... :-\

I've been thinking we would pay for it for over a month. Now with birds talking I just don't know..

There is a brush species in Texas called Elbow Bush commonly known as over/under brush but one of its other names is "spring herald".  I usually see it bud out the last week in Febuary or so.  Driving around the place today it is in full bud now.  About half January was in the 70's.  The Rios on this place seem to gobble year around so they are a poor indicator.

Gotta love that first of spring feeling. Feel like you need to be in the woods doing what we do best.

The geese have headed north, the killdeer are back and the daffodils are blooming. Turkeys have been very visible with a lot of gobbling.

East Texas has trees blooming out already.  That's pretty early.  We've had very little cold weather and only a handful of frosts this year.
I had to swat a couple of mosquitoes the other evening, it was 70 degrees at 5 o'clock.

The gobblers in South Alabama are gobbling once or twice a morning. Haven't heard one get cranked up yet. Watch us get up March 15 to 20 degrees and heavy frost with frozen creeks!
