Frustrated squirrel

The feeder is empty so we took it down intending to clean it. This morning, a squirrel discovered it on the patio and tried sooooo hard to get something to come out the dispenser. I'm observing that the squirrels are having to work harder to get around the yard now that much of their tree branch route is gone. The male cardinal was busy in the dogwood. I don't know what he finds there. There was a firefly in the house last night - strange to have it blinking away inside.

Feeder is back up and a chickadee noticed. Earlier a chickadee hopped all over the hanger on the post where the feeder was 'sposed to be. Maybe it was making sure it hadn't gone invisible?

At dusk, I watched the dragonflies. The evening ones are larger than the midday species and they never seem to stop and perch. Between their speed and the low light this is all I got. Now the cicadas are buzzing.
