Squirrels have been chasing all morning. one came up the retaining wall to find another already on top and did a back flip before my eyes. Mallard drakes slept beside the pool. A buzzard soared over the creek. An egret briefly visited the edge. Skinks darted across the patio. It is much warmer. Meanwhile, cardinals, finches, chickadees and wrens dined on sunflower seeds. Ants and a female hummingbird drank sugar water. There was an online discussion of how to keep ants out. Grease, water moats, and cotton balls were suggested. The moat is not working so maybe I'll try cotton.
In the front yard, there is a bird nest on a downspout behind a screen of Carolina jessamine which I think belongs to a wren and which I think has a peeping youngster inside.
