Breezy and cool

Chickadees were busy on the feeder.  Doves visited, including the one feeding its fledgling.  Crows mobbed something in the pines across the creek.

Both the sunflower seedlings and the portulaca are volunteers.  I'm surprised four sunflower seeds escaped the likes of this dove, not to mention squirrels and all the other foragers.  I wonder if there is still time for them to bloom.  

A red spotted purple posed on the bark of the oak.  The rather pretty little dark bug banded with red is an adult spittlebug.  The rosemary is covered with the juveniles and their bubble hideaways.  It is windy and chilly except in the sun.
