Some dragonflies came past early but did not stay. A squirrel is busily foraging and chickadees are feeding. The birdhouse wrens are busy too. A skink tail wagged as it disappeared under the morning glories. A dragonfly with clear wings is now perched.
Another larger skink moseyed across the wall of the house at lunch. A juvenile robin, still freckled, and with beak open came to the birdbath for a drink.
Again a storm boiled up in the late afternoon. It blew down the birdhouse. So I opened the roof to see what was inside. Five eggs! I put the roof back and shoved the birdhouse into the azalea bush that is more-or-less under where it was hanging. I hope it neither blows away not is carried off by raccoons. The wrens were flitting around the dogwood anxiously so I hope they will accept this location. They really packed the eggs in - all the gyrations of the birdhouse in the wind did not disturb them.
