is the magical month at Little Piney!  In a few short weeks Little Piney transforms from a gray and brown world of bare branches and dry grass into a bright array of greens almost shocking in intensity.  Within this green world are little seas of bluebonnets,  hot pink phlox, baby blue-eyes,  orange-red paintbrush, and all kinds of yellow flowers.  It&#8217;s delightful!  Below are the highlights of March at Little Piney&#8211;Wildflowers, Ducks, Red-shouldered Hawk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wildflowers at Little Piney <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring 2019 is giving us an excellent show of wildflowers at Little Piney and all over Central Texas.

One day in early March, we had the pleasure of this hawk&#8217;s company for quite a while as he perched and hunted.  Finally, he came up with a skink for his dinner.
