Busy feeders

Finches and cardinals have discovered the seed feeder is refilled.  An hummer appeared and was escorted off by another.  A yellow sulphur crossed the creek.

I intended to photograph the female widow skimmer in the background and instead I caught a cloud of dancing midges.  If I'd been trying, it never would have happened!  Butterflies and skippers are all over the yard.  A squirrel came off the roof and landed on the grass with a mouth full of TWO pecans.  

I think I glimpsed a zebra swallowtail.  Some kind of fritillary got a drink from the pool.  A brilliant emerald pondhawk zoomed directly toward the window at the same time.  I dithered and got neither.  Horace's duskywing continues to feed on the rosemary.  A leaf legged bug (true bug - Hemiptera) was on the rose out front, probably a bad sign.
