The grasslands were originally purchased in the Dust Bowl by the government. So many of the ponds and terraces were constructed to keep further damage from occurring and stop the soil from blowing and eroding away. To be sure, I for one am glad they did.
Have been in Far West Texas for the last week and just saw some rain last night. Fort Davis is expecting 2” of snow the next couple of days…glad we are making our way back to Houston. I did hear about a lot of storms in DFW last night from my parents. Love seeing the new blooms and quail scat.
Interesting about the quail poop. I did not know that. Thanks
Exciting to see signs of bobwhite! And very important little friends in the soil. Good neighbors to have.
I agree with Judy – I didn’t know bobwhite scat is easy to ID. And that was a gorgeous ground plum specimen!
