Still, I think the recent warmth send the sparrows North. I haven't seen any since last Wednesday. This morning was all cardinals and squirrels, including Ms White Spot. It will be interesting to see how old she gets.
The clouds broke up and let the sun out but the breeze has been cool. At lunch, a bluebird paused on the top of the feeder post. They like that spot. Then a pair of brown thrashers hunted in the grass. A tiger swallowtail flitted around the wild cherry. The mallards keep landing in the pool. What I need is a large snapping turtle.
Late afternoon brought a Carolina wren. A male cardinal chased something (a skink?) back and forth down by the steps. White spot likes banana chips - she found a piece I dropped. The female towhee was in the front yard along with a thrush I didn't recognize. It looks most like a
Swainson's, which means it was just passing through. One person on the
GBBC FB page said that wood thrushes hang out with towhees.
