Bright and hot

Chickadees and sparrows are all I've seen.  The sky is blue and there is a breeze. Later a finch and a junco appeared.  At lunch, a black swallowtail laid eggs on the fresh green rue leaves while cabbage butterflies flitted about.  Wasps tested the glass seeking a dark space while bees stayed in the sun on the rosemary. I suspect the feeder needs refilling.

Cardinals, chickadees, and titmice were polishing off the last seeds when K refiled the feeder.   Tonight is a new moon.  I do not understand why high tide was between 8 and 9 am at the beach.  Shouldn't it be when sun and moon are overhead on at new moon?  Of course it was later here, but that's because of the lag in water pushing up the creeks. 

A temperature record of 89 degrees was set, beating a 1922 record.
