Spring has officially sprung in Key West with the return of the Gray Kingbirds...


... and the Least Terns.


We have been seeing some early arrivals over the past few weeks but, we're ready for the big migration push to start in earnest any day.

Upon hearing the news of Tiger Woods' recent mishap, the boys spent an afternoon trying to answer the question, "How could anyone possibly roll a vehicle in a flat state like Florida?"


We celebrated OG's 2nd birthday Disney style at the end of March.  Henry's negotiations to replace OG's birthday with a birthday of his own ultimately failed.  OG enjoyed the park unabated as Disney officials promised not to kick him out of the park on his birthday.


Henry got over the whole birthday swap ordeal with his first bite of birthday cake and a new batch OG's toys ready to be plundered.  Henry wanted to trade his July birthday for OG's March birthday.  And, of course, trade back again in July.  Cake and toys were really Henry's end-game all along.


Back in Key West, the man cubs had a good time coloring Easter eggs.  When the eggs ran out, Henry decided it would be a good idea to make his hands look like colored eggs.



It's time to complete some spring projects before we head to Texas at the end of April for a whirlwind, Texas-sized birding excursion that will see us cover more than 1,000 miles in three days.  I'm sure my good friend Suzanne is shuddering to think of such folly.  But, when you're in a hurry, you're in a hurry.  We have three more trips planned for May and June after that.
