High Winds Little Down

Strong gusting winds 30-45 mph for most of past two days calmed late this afternoon. I went to the Woods 630 PM through SW Gate and found little changed. Small branches scattered across trail here and there, nothing much. Group of 5 whitetail moving southward east of Hackberry Alley. Small pool above Island Crossing suddenly much smaller - the wind, I think. Big Event crew cleared much of the flotsam and jetsam from the wash above the Bur Oak Bridge. Seventy percent? of understory has greened up/ leafed out. The upper canopies of trees are still bare, leafless. One or two small Bradford Pears on east end of Pipeline leafed out there light green leaves early.. before the rest.
