Both feeders need cleaning and refilling. A robin with a mass of nesting material paused on the roof. A goldfinch checked out the yellow rue flowers - they seem to be attracted to yellow the way hummingbirds are to red. Mating plumage echoing food source? The sunshine caught an orb web in a blaze of iridescence that this photo only faintly captures. The orb was originally perfect but the wires it was depending on weren't secured.
A rabbit was grazing over by the red maple. I believe I saw a wren check out the birdhouse. I cleaned and restocked the feeders which have no been visited by a chickadee, a titmouse, and a hummer. A blue tailed skink scurried across the steps. It may have been the same one I saw yesterday over by the roses. Another egret sailed through the airspace where the oak used to be.
The afternoon was cooler and a little less humid. A pair of brown thrashers foraged around the maple. The male red bellied woodpecker that keeps grumbling and hammering showed himself. The chickadee has a begging fledgling now that perched on the wrong feeder. It also fed itself on the seed feeder while muttering "feed me" to itself. And the wren is definitely considering becoming a tenant! It was very thorough, checking inside and out.
