Big, soft cumulus clouds were tinted at sunrise. On the feeder, sparrows, finches, cardinals and a titmouse fed. The creek was placid. A brown thrasher was tossing mulch in the front yard.
At noon, I saw the towhee pair hanging out under the azaleas in the front yard. The wind has picked up. A mature skink with a red head and no blue checked out crevices in the landscape timbers. The two wrens were busy singing and poking into things.
Later, a blue tailed juvenile skink scuttled across the steps. A tiger swallowtail stopped flitting to enjoy the money plant flowers. Other butterflies fluttered around - cabbage, and maybe sulphur, and an orange one. A male house finch and a bluebird landed on the feeder together quarreling. The bluebird flew off immediately.
Later, a half dozen swallows passed high overhead. I could hear them but they were almost too small to see.
