House wren back building nest and arrival of quail chicks a welcome sight at Mt. Hoo
Spring has been slow in coming and it was a concern.
Many readers will recall we have a small video camera mounted in a wren nest box just outside of our window. It has allowed us to intimately follow the nest building, egg laying, hatching and fledging cycle for the past five years. Meteorologist Alex Tardy from the National Weather Service office in San Diego confirmed the unusual spring we’ve had.
Temperatures on Palomar Mountain, according to Tardy, averaged only 39.5 degrees for December to March. This was the fourth coldest in history, and that might explain why the brilliant displays of grape soda lupine wildflowers were delayed at the higher elevations of the mountain this spring. The banks along South Grade Roads are covered with clusters of wildflowers right now.
