Ripe blueberries

Nice breakfast.  It is still mild this morning and birds are singing.  A cardinal checked to see that the feeder is refilled. Even after noon there's a light breeze.  A skipper is working on the lavender.  Hummers, cardinals and finches on their respective feeders.  Lots of doves - one perched on the grille.  Lots of crows too and I hear blue jays.

A palamedes swallowtail passed through.  Late afternoon, a spotted wing and a gold striped and a saddlebags dragonfly each patrolled airspace.  The one with spots drove off the saddlebags.  A chickadee that made a very buzzy call picked bugs out of the well in the center of the hummingbird feeder - a fledgling?  The first quarter moon is high in the cloudless afternoon sky.

While I ate supper, two rabbits showed up.  A flycatcher hung around the birdhouse for a while.  Then the fireflies came out.
