Another day of haze and sun

I was awakened by honking.  Down by the creek, two parents and five goslings were feeding in the grass.  Another adult goose was hanging around and one of the parents kept diving it off.  The parental goose would put its head low to the ground and run at the offender.  I wonder what harm the other goose was supposed to be offering? 


A wild morning glory is blooming amongst Venus Looking Glass by the lower steps.  Cardinals, chickadees, and a titmouse have visited the feeder but I haven't seen the finches.  A robin was prospecting for straw amongst the weeds I pulled.  A male cardinal got irritated and chased off several finches.  Then later it chased off another male cardinal.  Cabbage and sulphur butterflies are out.
