One of my favorite things I’ve experienced since arriving here in Texas has been sitting on the porch early in the morning with coffee. The house here is located almost rurally and there are instances where the wildlife come almost to the door. I haven’t seen anything larger than the birds so far. By far my fondest sighting though is the Texas Scissor-tailed Flycatchers I’ve been hearing and seeing just as the sun rises. They almost sound like parakeets as they chatter away while greeting the sun.
