This Burn is for the Birds

It has been slightly more than a couple of weeks since we conducted a controlled burn of the pollinator habitat out behind and to the north of the house.  And things have been greening-up nicely since then.  

It has also been exceedingly wet with almost five inches of rain beginning in the early hours Sunday and extending thru Monday.  

If you read yesterday afternoon's update there's a video of the flooding of Silver Creek.

Anyway here are some snapshots from our walk in the spring sunshine yesterday.  I plan to post updates from the same vantage points at likely two week intervals to document the restorative power of a good burn on prairie habitat.
